enhancement - force directed layout visualization of files/methods accessed

Hi @agermanidis - latest build is so good - and runs really smooth.
thanks so much for all your work. the variable explore is great!
so I'm thinking out loud here - but given the last suggestion was well received - going to take another stab.
I'm imagining a visualization of classes accessed like gource.io
(this requires c++ etc too heavy for electron - however d3 has a simple force directed graph)

FORCE DIRECTED GRAPH

curves
when a file is imported an edge would be created in graph.
when a method is called - perhaps the link is highlighted.
a naive linking maybe the edge would be from parent class - to child class.
not sure best way to do this.
from looking more closely at gource.io animation - the nodes slowly decay.
closing this
ps - @agermanidis - why not turn on the sponsors button - someone might pay you to develop this.
at > 2000 stars - it's pretty compelling for sponsors to help kick the tin.
