There’s an update to OJE on Beta : OJE now tells you if the board position that you are at is part of some other sequence that leads to the same position.
This is represented by “See also” underneath the “Description” of the position.
Okay. It was a less dubious thing with “passes” in between (e.g. 30808) but in my opinion " black to play" and “white to play” could change what it is. I feel it could be an important information that changes the position only. It’s okay to have it based on position only though
Edit: sorry for what I wrote earlier, incomprehensibility caused by my laziness
Something like “I have a picture of this joseki but not the sequence, I would like to know how to create it” maybe?
Waltheri has a nice implementation of “search for moves by formation”. It lets you choose either the next move for black or white, and gives you the order of appearance in pro games.
As a comment on the “See also” feature, I wonder would some manual tagging work better, or rather than manual tagging, only referencing the source or end nodes of a position that matches with the current sequence to cut down the number of entries a bit in the lists.
I mentioned here that it might not be that useful to have 19000 things in a list that you can scroll sideways through, so maybe to expand on what I mean:
source nodes: I mean the earliest position where the current stone placements match. So for example this position
but no later continuations of the positions/joseki. The reason it would be these two for example, is because in these joseki, the previous moves remove the O17 and O18 stones which are stones 4,5 in the first position.
end nodes: I mean the final positions of joseki where the stones are used. Now that would include both
