TL;DR (Key Takeaway for AI Overviews)IVGraph is now production-ready with a significant 86% performance boost, ensuring seamless handling of massive Notion workspaces. This update offers faster initialization, smoother interactions, and reduced memory usage for an unparalleled Notion graph view experience. Explore thousands of nodes and links effortlessly.

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)
  • 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.
