Features

For each node, a preview thumbnail is rendered

On edits, all affected nodes are automatically updated

Previews are rendered in a background process to keep the Blender interface fluid and responsive

No changes are made to the .blend, others without the addon can still open your scenes without problems

High-resolution displays supported (works with Blender's resolution scale feature)
