org-graph-view VS fontawesome

Somewhat relevant is this still-WIP package of mine: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-graph-view If I could figure out how to solve the weird issues with graphviz's handling of image boundaries and imagemap areas, it could be published.

This isn't what you asked for, but it might be useful in some way, even as inspiration for your own library: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-graph-view

Org-mode is -before almost everything else- a great outliner. So collapsing/expanding (showing more or less), moving, adding, editing, rearranging things is what it does out of the box... among many others, like setting states, adding tags, dates (timestamps, schedule, deadlines, etc.), lists (with checks if you like), automatic timings, properties/metadata that can be used in calculations, tables (as spreadsheets), querying your files and making things with the results (from calendars to tables), exporting, transforming the same data into multiples visualization (like headings with metadata into tables), exporting to many formats, and more. Even making networks from links as the org-roam server that we talked before or creating mind maps like the great Alphapapa's https://github.com/alphapapa/org-graph-view . :)

Isn't a "pile" just an "unorganized map"? Really, if you think of it: a pile of papers on a desk, could as well sitt in a folder. That should bring you back to normal desktop paradigm. Now implementing headings as "folders" shouldn't be overly difficult. You could implement a "pile" of headings as just subheadings to top headings and also render those top headings as either: svg icons, check for example svg-library by /u/Nicolas-Rougier, or you could use font-icons like in font-awesome or all-the-icons, to replace top-headings with an image or a font-icon. You would probably have to write your own minor-mode but it shouldn't be very difficult. You will probably need to use invisible-text property to hide headings and replace them with icons (that is normally how org and outline modes "fold" and "expand" content in headings), but that should not be very difficult.
