[Feedback] Heap Snapshot Visualizer

[OnurGumus]

Hello just some points for the Heap Snapshot Visualizer. I am actually a MSFT employee who actively use Memory tools to investigate potential issues.

I really liked the idea of Heap Snapshot Visualizer as the objects in the heap are actually graph not tree. The regular snapshot tool's retainer tree falls short when it comes to that.

However there is a room for quite a bit improvement for the Heap Snapshot Visualizer.

First due to heavy calculations the UI becomes unresponsive quite frequently. Perhaps such calcs can be of loadaded to a web worker telling the user to wait.

Secondly labeling changes don't reflect. I'd rather prefer get details once I click a node and I would also want it to expand further.

Thirdly and perhaps most importantly. I would like to be able to cut edges so that I can eliminate the dependencies I know for sure. And once the edge is removed, it should recalculate the graph, not sure if this is computationally feasable but would help me great in my work.

You can also contact me from Teams for a more detailed discussion if you are interested in hearing more
