I'm wondering if on mouse-driven systems we should utilize hover for also triggering magnification when you're in the right or left-hand side of the node.

Drag and drop is a pain with mac trackpad.

Could also click to show ports, which could automatically show compatible ports, then click to connect.

So, instead of dragging, the interaction would be:

• Swipe right (or mouse hover) to magnify outports
• Click to select a port (or drag "out" from a particular port)
• Click on a receiving node to magnify
• Click to select port

That could work. Could use another round of prototyping. And once you've selected the starting port, you need a way to cancel that action (maybe through a menucard)

This could also be a good place to prototype keyboard bindings meemoo/dataflow#57 ... something that makes since to type into the awesome box also as a means of making edges.
