Recently a new web-based fully gpu driven graph visualisation engine was released and it could handle quite some big graphs directly in the browser: https://twitter.com/hoogerwoord/status/1568188361503907840?s... 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.

Wow! Looks nice :) Thanks for sharing

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

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…

What kind of integration with GIS where you considering? What did you want to accomplish?

Firefox 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 :)

Heh same, with noscript blocking 14 unknown domains, where unblocking the main domain doesn't fix it.

No way in hell am I going to trust a company on any technical matter when they have to cobble their own product together through that many external services and trackers.

Check out the Github repo https://github.com/memgraph/orb , it's Apache-2, with a lot of thinking around the software design :D

This looks pretty clunky. Is this what Neo4j uses in their viewer? It feels like it's related.

What does Neo4j use?
