The nodes around this one are samples, one of each type. Edit them, or replace them with your own.\n\nHow to add your own node:\n1) Right-click the empty canvas where the node should go and choose Create node here. Shortcut: Cmd/Ctrl-click the empty canvas.\n2) In Add new node, enter a unique ID, a Name and a Description, and pick a Type from the list below. The ID cannot be changed later.\n3) Fill in the fields that appear for that type, then confirm. Drag the new node next to the nodes it belongs with.\n4) To link two nodes, Cmd/Ctrl-click the first node, then the second. In Add new link, enter a short name such as \"is about\" in Name1. Add Name2 if it reads differently from the other side, such as \"is covered in\". Set Direction 0 (no arrow), like the sample links, and confirm.\n5) Click Save in the top toolbar after each change and keep the address it shows. A reload loses anything not saved.\n\nTypes in this template:\n- Playlist: the playlist itself, what it collects and why.\n- Video: one video in the playlist, with its place in the list, length and view count.\n- Channel: the channel that published a video.\n- Moment: a point in a video worth returning to, with an optional end time and a link that starts playback there.\n- Topic: a subject that videos and moments cover.\n- Speaker: a person who speaks in a video, host or guest.\n\nEvery date (YYYY-MM-DD) and every number needs a value; text and list fields may stay empty. For a Moment, Timestamp is the time as shown (12:34), Seconds is the same time in seconds (754), End timestamp is optional, and Deep link is the video URL with &t= and the seconds, for example &t=754s; its Kind is Quote, Insight, Demo, Reference or Question. Position counts from 1. Views and Subscribers are counted on the As of date.\n\nDelete a sample only once one of your own nodes has its type: a type that no node uses is dropped at Save.", "size": 3, "position": { "x": 0, "y": 0, "z": 0 } }, { "ID": "playlist-1", "name": "Getting Started with Watercolour", "type": "Playlist", "properties": { "URL": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXAMPLE0001", "Created": "2026-09-02", "Visibility": "Public" }, "description": "A beginner's path into watercolour painting, collected from several teaching channels and ordered from first brush strokes to finished landscapes.
