Notion Knowledge Graph
Visualization

We're introducing a major update to the 3D graph navigation system. Exploring connections between your Notion pages is now more intuitive than ever.

Full Keyboard Camera Controls

Navigate your knowledge graph like a 3D game:

• WASD — move forward/backward/left/right
• Q/E — move up/down
• IJKL — rotate camera 360°
• Shift — speed boost

Quick Projection Panel

New widget in the corner provides instant access to standard views:

• Top / Bottom views
• Left / Right views
• Front / Back views
• Smooth distance adjustment to graph

Auto-Rotation Mode

The graph can now smoothly rotate, showcasing your knowledge structure from all angles. Perfect for presentations and exploring large knowledge bases without manual navigation.

Personal Display Settings

• Choose node style: emoji, photos, or abstract shapes
• Settings saved to your profile
• Texture caching for faster loading

AI-Powered Search

We've integrated the E5-base-v2 embedding model to enable semantic search across your Notion graph. Now you can choose between three search modes:

• Text Search - classic keyword matching
• Semantic Search - AI understands meaning, finds conceptually related pages
• Hybrid Search - combines both for best results (default)

Full-Text Content Search

Search now goes beyond page titles - it searches through actual page content. Results display content snippets with highlighted matches, so you can see exactly where your keywords appear.

Similar Nodes Discovery

When you select a node, a new "Similar Nodes" panel shows pages that are semantically related. Great for discovering unexpected connections in your knowledge graph!

User Authentication

Complete user system is now in place: registration, login, personal dashboard, and profile management. Your Notion workspace data is isolated with a dedicated search index.

Performance Optimization: 86% Faster

Through intelligent API caching, adaptive geometry quality, and direct THREE.js object manipulation, we achieved stunning results: 86% faster initialization (1118ms -> 160ms), 80-94% faster node interactions (15-80ms -> 1-20ms), and 99% reduction in memory usage (13MB -> 200KB per click).

Modern UI & Visual Features

Complete interface redesign with collapsible sidebar, mobile optimization, and modular CSS architecture. Added stunning photo node visualization that displays Notion cover images directly in the 3D graph, plus hover attraction effects and smooth animations throughout.

Advanced Navigation

Introduced comprehensive keyboard controls (WASD movement, arrow key navigation), grouped search results organized by database, connections panel with history, and game-like camera controls for power users who prefer keyboard-only navigation.

By The Numbers

• 30+ commits merged, ~2,000 lines of optimization code added
• 86% faster load times, 1,653 nodes & 5,919 links rendered smoothly

What's Next

We're incredibly close to beta launch! With performance optimization complete, we're focusing on user management (registration, dashboard, OAuth) and infrastructure. Beta testing opens in December 2025 for our first 50 users.

Hello! The IVGraph team is excited to share our progress in developing a tool for visualizing Notion workspaces. We're transforming your notes, databases, and their connections into an interactive 3D graph that helps you see your knowledge structure from a new perspective.

What We're Currently Building

Critical components are now in active development: we've implemented Django models for Airbyte integration (including encrypted token storage), deployed a data isolation system through dedicated PostgreSQL schemas for each user, and configured ESLint to maintain code quality. Our stack already includes Django 4.x, Vite 6.3.5, Three.js 0.177.0, and D3.js 7.9.0 - all working together to create a seamless visualization experience.

Current Challenges

Like any ambitious project, we face technical challenges. The primary one is performance optimization for graphs with over 1000 nodes: rendering large structures requires careful memory and computation management. We're also addressing the legacy of a large repository size (the airbyte/ directory takes up 1.4GB), migrating to Docker Compose instead of storing all of Airbyte in git. These challenges don't stop us - they make our solutions more elegant!

Join our journey! We're building a tool we'd want to use every day. If you manage a large Notion workspace and want to discover hidden connections in your information - stay tuned! We'll soon open early access for our first testers.
