       Do I have #Obsidian fans and experts in my timeline?I want to build a skill tree, as you know it from games, and have each skill as a note. Is there a way to automatically create a halfway decently looking graph of such skill trees? The graph view is too muddled for that purpase.

       @jollyorc Absolutely, there's native support for Mermaid inside Obsidian. I think you can get some pretty nice-looking graphs out of it. Feel free to poke around in the documentation, both there and elsewhere for Mermaid, and I am pretty sure you can turn out something awesome. https://help.obsidian.md/advanced-syntax#Diagram

       @lextenebris I probably I misphrased the original question: I want the graph to be generated from the notes, not the notes from the graph :)I have a bunch of notes, and I want the graph to be generated, and altered whenever I change data in the notes.

       @jollyorc Well, in that case, you'll need something built from the new Bases plugin, but I don't think there's support for building a node graph from that content yet. Alternately, you can use Canvas, but that's going to be manual assembly. I don't think you can have that. Choose to put nodes on it via an instructive mechanism. Though there may be a plug-in for that somewhere, I haven't seen it.Which leaves the graph view and the mechanisms around it as the only tool that's outstanding. You do know that you can set a particular graph view window to filter based on tags and other properties, right? That might be a good way to think about it, to keep it from getting muddled with everything else. But that might be the last on the list. You might could get away with using Excalibrain, which is a community plugin, but it's based on Dataview and Excalidraw, so that may or may not be further outside standard Obsidian than you want to go. https://github.com/zsviczian/excalibrain
