I once had a presentation that covered stuff up to around 2011-12 or so but lost it... afaik there's no history, but it probably wouldn't be too hard to construct one. But why do you need this? Seems like academic-historical interest.

Heh... that was the product I ran at Xerox. Zahra was our UX designer. I don’t think replicating this on Roam would be useful. Roam’s native way of doing automated graph viz scales better. Our approach allowed more meaningful maps, but required way more work from end-users.
