Demo Wednesday: Collapsible Minimap

We've published a new demo: Collapsible Minimap

Show advanced features to users only when they need them. This is one of the UX rules we followed in today's demo. Such a feature can be a minimap, which is a valuable tool to better navigate the diagram, but takes up more space than needed when not in use. The ability to collapse and expand the minimap is the subject of today's demo and a practice used by many modern collaboration and diagramming tools.

Take a look at the demo below, click on the map icon to show (and hide) the minimap and move elements around on the paper to observe how smoothly the minimap adapts to changes.
