What would you like to see?

Currently, conversations with the LLM in Anything LLM are presented as a continuous "wall of text." This makes it difficult and time-consuming to navigate, find specific points, and get an overview of long and complex discussions.

Desired Solution

Implement a dedicated, collapsible navigation panel that displays a structured, interactive outline of the entire "Thread", chat, conversation. This panel would be positioned on the side of the screen(right or left), providing a persistent and clear map of the dialogue.

The implementation would be visually similar to the Outline Panel in Obsidian, where a clear, clickable heading list allows for instant navigation within a document.

The outline, the headings can be generated by the separately configurable, cheaper LLM (automatically or via a refresh button.)

Possible Features:

Collapsible and resizable panel on the right\left side.
Visual Structure: uses indentation to show conversation flow.
An option to remember expanded\collapsed state of the Outline of the opened Topic
Default expand level option (no expand, H1, H2, H3)
Level switch (expand heading to a certain level) by moving the switch
Expand all, collapse all headings of the Outline option\button

Mockup of how it might look like:
