Hello Brooklyn,

I would think that you should first implement this in a structured text
form, then work on with some js graph library to transform the text into a
graph if possible afterward, possibly allowing user to switch from one to
the other.  This would limit the dependencies on the server side and allow
for greater flexibility for user tweaking on the representation without
touching the server side.
