JourneyNodes
JourneyNodes
JourneyNodes is a relationship-mapping tool I built for situations where the data is dense but the context is hard to follow. It turns people, events, professions, and background context into an explorable star-map-style graph so you can understand connections visually instead of reading disconnected lists.
The public preview is already live, and you can switch between templates immediately to see how the interface organizes stories, characters, and context into one navigable graph.
What You Can Try Right Now
1. Bible Template
You can load a Bible-based relationship graph built from the Four Gospels and selected key Old Testament figures, then inspect nodes, edges, and side-panel details to understand how those people relate to one another.
2. Romance of the Three Kingdoms Template
The site also includes a Romance of the Three Kingdoms template that organizes characters, battles, and identity context into an explorable graph.
3. Blank Project Preview
If you want to start from your own topic, you can create a blank project first. In public preview mode, the graph is limited to 10 nodes, which is enough to test the structure and interaction flow.
Core Experience
- Includes both 2D and 3D views for the same relationship data
- Supports node search, type-based filtering, and current workspace panels
- Lets viewers adjust language, connection basis, and display behavior from the side controls
- Exposes entry points for people, project, and profession nodes, making it useful beyond fiction alone
Why It Matters
JourneyNodes is meant for content where there are many people, many events, and too much context to keep in your head at once. That makes it useful not only for stories and classic texts, but also for course design, research notes, character worldbuilding, and other subjects that benefit from relationship-first exploration.
The site is currently available as a free public preview, and the full mode can be unlocked with an approved Google account.
