       | into this though? As so far, all I've done is create some
       | vertices and group them by 'bags'. Note that I'm a math theory
       | novice

       | Hey! I tried to model an elementary "reverse linked list" (as a
       | sort of Hello World), and couldn't figure out how to:
       | 
       | - Label a node once it is placed - Get everything to stop
       | bouncing around - output/export a .dot file

       | Wow, this looks really nice and reminds me alot of a tool I built
       | myself 2 years ago. [0] The overlap in ideas is really
       | astounding. I really like the way the nodes can be grouped in
       | bags and how each step of running topo-sort or dijkstra is saved
       | as a separate graph.
       | 
       | The way nodes are created by clicking on an existing edge feels
       | almost exactly as in my project and I remember how excited I was
       | coming up with the idea on my own. But obviously this project
       | predates my project by about 2 years.
       | 
       | Really nice work.
