It seems like the underlying mechanics are there:

- [MediaWiki concept graph](https://observablehq.com/@lazytsunday-ws/mediawikigraph02)
- [Wikipedia graph](https://observablehq.com/@john_wood_2020/wikipedia-graph/2)
- The basic force-directed graph construct from the D3 library

I’m pretty green when it comes to Observable, but I LOVE the concept of graph view in the Obsidian notes app, and it seems possible to engineer something that achieves the same kind of tool but with pre-existing wiki-based connections, instead of only those explicitly defined in this notes app.

Curious to hear others’ thoughts on the practicality of something like this, assuming it doesn’t already exist.
