One slice of the map, four layouts, same data
Pick a slice of the map and watch it redraw four ways, then grow it ring by ring without losing the graph underneath.

This is the same map of my skills as the constellation clip, now showing one curated slice of it, a nine-node "story". The clip re-lays those nine nodes out four ways, then pulls in one more ring of real connections around them.
What you're watching
A search picks out a nine-node story, "A project's life: draft to reflection", and its explanation panel opens with the full narrative. Clicking through four view buttons then re-lays out those exact same nine nodes four different ways, live: fanned out in their true position inside the whole map, straightened into a left-to-right pipeline, grouped into tidy clusters, and packed into a compact grid. Same data, four cuts. Then a "Grow" control gets a hover: a faint, capped outline appears around the next ring of real connections, a preview that commits to nothing. A click pulls that ring in for real, and the story grows a layer.
Nothing about the four layouts is pre-drawn or hand-placed: the same nine-node graph is recomputed on the fly by four different layout strategies, so exploring a story never distorts what it's actually connected to. The grow preview is the same idea one step earlier: hovering shows, without committing, exactly what pulling the next ring in would add, so a wrong guess costs nothing to back out of.
What doesn't come across on video: the explanation panel used to stay open over the graph for as long as a story was showing, covering the very thing it was explaining. It now folds itself down to a slim title bar the moment a story activates, and a single click brings the full explanation back whenever it's wanted, so the story never permanently blocks the graph it's telling you about.

English
Same viewer as the constellation, on a curated view: a project's life, from draft to reflection. Nine nodes, a title and an intent. A view is a story told over the whole map, not a separate diagram. In context, everything outside the story dims, and the story sits where it really is in the map.
Pipeline puts the same nine nodes in order, left to right, and hides the rest. Clusters groups them into blocks. Same data, a different question answered. Grid packs just those nine into a lattice. Four ways to lay out the same nodes.
Hover Grow and a dashed ring previews what could join the story. Click, and those nodes join for real. One click back, and it's the whole map again. Every view is just a saved way of looking at it.

O mesmo visualizador da constelação, numa visão curada: a vida de um projeto, do rascunho à reflexão. Nove nós, um título e uma intenção. Uma visão é uma história contada sobre o mapa inteiro, não um diagrama à parte. Em contexto, tudo fora da história esmaece, e ela aparece onde realmente está no mapa.
Pipeline põe os mesmos nove nós em ordem, da esquerda para a direita, e esconde o resto. Clusters agrupa em blocos. Os mesmos dados, outra pergunta respondida. Grid junta só esses nove numa grade. Quatro jeitos de dispor os mesmos nós.
Passe o mouse em Grow e um anel tracejado mostra o que poderia entrar na história. Clique, e esses nós entram de verdade. Um clique de volta, e é o mapa inteiro de novo. Toda visão é só um jeito salvo de olhar para ele.
