I recently found a use case for user-editable dynamic web content, which is a significant shift from the previous use case of read-only static web pages. I've spent the day exploring how to enable user-editable dynamic content using Flask as a web framework.
I realized that d3js is a distractingly pretty interface for the static graph, but it doesn't move me towards EquationMap.com's intuitive interface. My Flask-based interface for dynamic content is driven by conventional form-based input. While this would accomplish the functionality, it's not as sexy as EquationMap.
There remains important work to be done with the static read-only content, namely a "zoom" interface which connects the concept map to specific derivations.
Update 20151207: a generated "overview" concept map showing the relations between derivations was created
