What is a bubble layout?
A bubble layout presents ideas as rounded, often differently sized nodes that float and connect to one another. The emphasis is on the individual concepts and the links between them rather than on a rigid top-down ranking. It feels softer and more organic than a tree, which suits loose, exploratory thinking.
- Ideas appear as rounded nodes linked by connecting lines.
- Node size and placement highlight content over strict rank.
- Feels organic and exploratory rather than rigidly ordered.
- Useful when relationships matter more than hierarchy.

How Overscope relates
Bubble is one of Overscope's six map layouts. When you want your spoken ideas to read as a connected set of standalone concepts rather than a strict hierarchy, you can switch the map into the bubble layout.
