What software do you use to visualize the graph like this?

The "i" icon in the bottom left has that info:

So, here is a D3.js network graph that represents all of the wonderful reads I've ever found on the internet. The larger nodes are the tags, while the smaller ones are the links to the article.

Out of curiosity: "great reads" sounds kinda like a proper name / title (it's a plural being used as a singular), are these from lists-of-"great reads" / a layout for some datasource that has "great reads", or just a (large!) collection of things you've found over time? Or am I just over-thinking that "s"? Either way, this looks great. Randomly clicking a few entries finds stuff I wish I had found years earlier. Than…

I’d say it’s a kind of idiomatic phrase (?) — “great reads” where a “read” is a “thing to read” (like one could use “read” in “comfort read”). In other words:

language

A graph implies a sort of hierarchy or cycles or at least some kind of order. I doubt, that there is one specific arrangement of the reads in a graph, that will lead to always finding what one is looking for. I think, that freely tagging things might work better.

"That book was a really fun read."

As a sort of digital "happening," it's...fun? Interesting? "Neat?"

As something I will ever reference, it's basically useless. Which, I feel bad saying, because that suggests that I'm somehow considered in any way in this graph. But, the reason I mention it is because this and the rest of the "here's all my xyz knowledge/notes laid out for you to peruse" graphs and digital gardens are just bad ways of engaging with someone else's ideas.

The idea is there: start anywhere! Follow the meandering path! But, the experience is more: "well, I guess I need to start at the beginning again" (digital gardens) and "I guess I'll just pick a random node cuz they're all supposed to be equally interesting?" (the OP)

Thanks for sharing! Quick question: How did organizing data in this format help you?

Actually, this is more for others than it is for me. I wanted to share my Pocket list with the world, without turning it into a super long s and wanted to make it easier to visualize the categories/relatedness of articles (hey this one is "web" and "ui" related; this one looks like its "web" and "performance" related).
