Timur,

For us, undoubtedly, it’s a great news. Visualization of any kind is really important for Mistral for a number of reasons. You can count on any help(including code contribution) from our side.

Thanks

UI is yet not great, as the current focus is data abstraction layer exploration, i.e. how to exploit Barricade.js capabilities to reflect all relations between Mistral's entities. I hope to finish the minimal set of features in a few weeks - and will certainly announce it in the ML.
