Size of the node based on number of connections in graph view
In graph view, the size of a node is calculated based on the size of the text of the note. In the context of connections, I want to quickly identify the mother nodes, the nodes that have the most connections.
An example why this would be a good update. There are some notes that come with the plugins. Since these notes contain code, explanation etc, they are the biggest notes in terms of content size. These notes take a lot of visual space, but are they really significant? On the other hand, I have some index notes that contain links to certain categories of notes, which are acting like hub, or mother notes, where I keep a history of certain type of notes, like SOPs, evergreen notes etc. These notes should have visual weight as they are acting as central note.
The ability to change the size of a note in graph view would allow me to choose the visual representation

KGIn a Zettelkasten system, evergreen notes serve as central hubs that synthesize and distill knowledge from multiple atomic notes into comprehensive, actionable concepts. Having node sizes reflect the number of connections rather than file length would better represent the structural importance of notes in the knowledge network. Evergreen notes, being integration points of multiple concepts and evidence, naturally accumulate more connections and should appear as larger nodes, making the knowledge graph more navigable and intuitively reflecting each note's role as a knowledge hub.
