    There is maybe some room for design too (Figma), but there are many times I wish it DIDN'T do that and encouraged better frame/file organization instead. ------- It can also be useful for some visualizations, like taxonomy: https://itol.embl.de/itol.cgi or https://www.onezoom.org/life.html "Drill down for details" like in disk space analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKClylmlv3w&t=1s (or similar one in D3: https://observablehq.com/@d3/zoomable-sunburst) Treemaps: https://observablehq.com/@d3/zoomable-treemap ------- IMO it's (too often) used for (mis)organization, like in Miro or Prezi or "mind map" apps. I feel like those try to shoehorn information into Sherlock-like "mind palaces" that might make sense for the creator, but are inscrutable to everyone else and just makes information harder to find later on. They always lead to some sort of pixel-hunting where the presenter zooms out and in, out and in, out and in, wasting time on navigation and placefinding instead of information dissemination.
