Description
Alot of visual programming tools I've used have a presentation mode separate from the graph mode, this is to reduce clutter and "wire forest" problems introduced by adding lots of complex nodes. Some examples:
Reaktor

Max/MSP


Would this paradigm work for comfyUI? It would be nice to have a "build your own webui" paradigm where you can hide the node graph completely and work only with the UI you've built, once you've perfected the layout of your nodes
This may increase the frontend's complexity depending on the limitations of pure JS and may be an unacceptable change, but I would like using comfyUI a lot more if it were somehow implemented
