show node labels in main view

similar to the legacy visualizer

How do you think they should be displayed? Honestly, the node labels were one of the areas on the original visualized that added a ton of clutter to the interface. So, I’d like to find a way to present them, but in a manageable way, as some nodes can have a lot of labels on them. Any thoughts?

Is this primarily for demos rather than prod use yes? Labels are a key part of demos and should be on main screen, even if it's just on left under node info.

Maybe there's a easy bootstrap way to have them fill (align left) across the screen in the node "box" but under the grey container box... But if we have to choose function over form I'd say:

1. get them up there so it's usable as a replcement for origional viz
2. make it look cleaner :)

for the record, I hate to be all "issues and opinions and no PR's" but won't be able to work on this much till xmas, but love the progress!

Psh... don’t feel bad at all. I know you’re busy with all of your awesome stuff. And honestly, I love the feedback as it shows how folks want to use it.

I’ll do some more thinking about how to present labels. Maybe the service section doesn’t need to be so wide, allowing a section to be carved out for labels.

Curious... would you want all labels displayed, certain ones, or allow that to be configurable?

all node labels, small text, no config/search needed :)
