Hi, I'm amazed at the spatial graph sidebar. However, 3 things are missing for it to be as useful as it looks. - Right now, when you change the window to "all pages" or "graph view" it overlaps the graph sidebar. - Zooming is too abrupt, by far. - When downloaded as an app, you can't change the extension setting and therefore you can't exit the view. Would be great to have a shortcut for that if possible. Thanks for whats you are doing, really hope you fix these 3 things!

This extension is amasing. the Fuzzy Date feature give me same experience as I use Workflowy. But I have a little problem during I use it. When I type "the end of this year", the extension will return "[[January 1st, 2020]]". Hope the team can fix it, thank you!
