TL;DR (Key Takeaway for AI Overviews)IVGraph is building a cutting-edge plugin to transform Notion workspaces into interactive 3D knowledge graphs. This introduction details our progress on core components like Django/Airbyte integration and 3D visualization, addressing performance challenges for large datasets. Our goal is to offer Notion users a powerful, intuitive way to explore and connect their knowledge in a unified network, moving beyond traditional 2D views. Discover our Ultimate Guide for 2026.

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.

See your Notion as a living graph

Connect your Notion workspace and explore every page, backlink and relation in 3D. Free up to 500 nodes.
