Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There is a nice looking type explorer for supergraph under the schema tab, I wonder if we could also have the same explorer for subgraph, that would be very helpful visualization for the subgraph developer, thx, currently there is only the raw sdl for subgraph

Describe the solution you'd like

Add the type explorer for the subgraph under schema section

@Nomia can you explain how this would benefit the Subgraph developer? Why is the SDL not sufficient for them?

Hi @jensneuse, I think type explorer got a better visualization(birdseye view ish) for subgraph developer to understand this subgraph, means more dev-friendly or pm-friendly, less time to grasp the whole schema. A SDL file can be too long to read sometimes.

or we can integrate GraphQL editor to make the schema visualization even better, so the subgraph developer not only get nice displayed detail of their subgraph, but also the whole picture, all the relationships in the whole supergraph.

I see, that makes sense. We're looking to solve this in a different way though, but this is not yet public. So for the time being I'll close this.
