Show HN: Visual way to understand things in parallelhttps://wondering.app/canvasHey HN!Really excited to be showing what I think is a better way to understand complex topics with AI.You start a chat with your question, and whenever you want to clarify something or understand some jargon, you can branch out a new chat from that thread.The cool unlock is being able to see all related chat threads in the same context without tab switching, for e.g. I can first dive into understanding world models, then spin a new chat thread on who the key players are in there, and another asking what's the frontier with this stuff.The responses are also not just a wall of text. They're: - Filled with interactive diagrams and visuals - Super fastAnd for those curious, this is how we built it: - React Flow (@xyflow/react) for the canvas - React Components for interactive diagrams - GPT Image 2 for image generations - Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite for super fast response - Parallelization whenever possible to keep things fastYou can also highlight and add notes :)Try it out and let me know wha
