🔄 The Challenge: Dynamic Layout vs. Memory Anchoring​

One of the biggest hurdles right now involves using D3.js to visualize and organize bookmarks. While force-directed layouts are visually compelling and self-organizing, they come with a major drawback:

🔁 They don’t maintain a consistent layout between renders.

This is more than a technical quirk—it's a user experience concern. Humans rely on spatial memory. When something is placed in a spot, we expect it to stay there. Our brains create mental maps of information, and when those maps shift unexpectedly, it creates dissonance.

Balancing these two opposing needs is proving to be a key design challenge:

• ✅ We want automatic organization — things should flow and adapt as the dataset changes.
• 🧭 We need spatial consistency — users must feel grounded and able to return to familiar places.

How do we allow the layout to evolve without disorienting the user?

This remains an active design problem, and one of the core philosophical questions for the plugin’s interaction model.

Stay tuned.

Thanks for taking a look here, Explosive booksmarks has been started, looking forward to building something fun and exciting. Bookmarks have been abandoned by so many lets bring them back in an explosive way.
