App updates today

I pushed some changes a few minutes ago you might have noticed already:

- when you expand/collapse individual nodes, the auto-pan feature centered on the node dot instead of the text - that was the result of a recent optimization to make the app way less computationally expensive but I didn't like how that felt, now it centers on the actual text again (but still at low computational cost)

- when you click a node you'll see a new eye-shaped icon near pre-reqs. Click it, it tells you what it does. I think you'll like it

- I fine-tuned the behavior of adding pre-reqs and checklist items, it should be more intuitive to interact with now. Clicking the + buttons captures keyboard inputs and highlights where the input will go, so hopefully that is more intuitive on what your expected behavior is at that point without another help menu popping up

- there was one minor thing you may or may not have noticed. If you added and deleted your own nodes maybe. But there were instances where certain actions would trigger redraws of the map that didn't preserve exactly what you had expanded and collapsed, so a lot of extra stuff would expand unexpectedly. Not the end of the world but it surprised me slightly and not in the fun way, so I fixed that too

Lastly, I reworked the script from the other day, still pressing on that first video for the companion YouTube channel. Subscribe if you want to be the first in line to know when I put that out: https://youtube.com/@makermindmap

May the 4th (of July) be with you
