Re: How to build a graph visualization engine
#2Recently a new web-based fully gpu driven graph visualisation engine was released and it could handle quite some big graphs directly in the browser:

Happy that people are building new graph visualisation engines and I think still a very open space for innovation in interactively exploring graph/network structures.

#3Firefox 104.0 64bit Linux, page doesn't complete loading.
When viewed through archive.org page takes >30 seconds to display any content other than menu's, orange back ground, and "are you having problems?" chat prompt.
Guess I'll have to work out how to build my own graph visualization engine :)

#4I was an early employee at the first round of graphistry.com. I'm really proud of Leo and that he took it from the brink and put it back on the market and is growing it.
I think more people should build more graph visualization engines, but you're going to have a hard time competing with how slick pygraphistry is, but there is not enough alternatives that are worth a shit. Graphistry, when I left was able to do half a billion nodes (my memory might be fuzzy, could have been 250,000 but I think we ran tests and got 500k) all memory resident in the browser. Our goal was a billion. I'm not sure what it can do now but it has UMAP and some other very fancy features.
Here's a stupid unmaintained thing I made that got me the job at Graphistry. I did not build the graph vis engine, but I did write the procedural color stuff. It's ugly and terrible. Lol. I'm gonna release something some time soon that is a rework on that idea.

Yes, I too couldn't pass through all the page requirements.

I managed to load it right now. But as someone said, archive.org is also an option.

Graphistry is really cool but the point here is not to compete on the visualization side, we needed a tool that scales for a few of our use-cases (mostly as a highly configurable graph visualizes) + a library that can easily be extended :D

+ Have you seen https://github.com/cosmograph-org/cosmos? Looks like a really scalable thing :D

#9I do hate spam-blogs.
Bait and switch blog posts (i.e that start potentially interesting and then half-way morph into a poorly disguised sales pitch) are so tiresome.

Heh. You and me both. When I worked there something I really wanted to get to was GIS integration and abstraction with graph. They are doing some really, really cool stuff and I think their future offerings will be things to take note of, but it's a service too and it's not open source. If you find a solution to what you're talking about, I'm interested. Let me know.
Also, I talk to Leo. If you have specific requests that you want to list, I'll make sure he reads this thread.
