Nice! I got TaskGraph running locally, but couldn't figure out how to create a node. Seems like it's built on the same basic idea as Intention though - tasks structured into a graph. I'd be very interested to hear how you get on with TaskGraph.

Shift-Click to create a node.

Then click on the node to modify it's attributes.

Shift click and drag to other nodes to create dependencies. The dependencies should auto-snap into place. The algorithm used for this works most of the time. Our current taskgraph at openquery has ~50 nodes and it works quite well.

I don't have cycle-checking so be careful or your browser tab will blow up.

Got it, the app works well. I did consider using `react-digraph` for Intention, but the UX seems very focused on desktop (lots of clicking and dragging) and I wanted something more mobile focused.
