This looks very nice, but a 2D visualization might have been more practical. For example, the fact that the dot size represents the total number of dependents is obscured by the fact that the dot sizes are also a function of camera distance.

#102Would have liked to see vcpkg and Conan in here, too. I imagine zlib, OpenSSL, and a few other staples would be the center.

Reminds me of the 3D file browser user interface in Jurassic Park, which was an actual application. Looks cool but its not good to use (I mean the 3d file browser, not this software galaxies, which i found quite good). 3D interfaces rarely plan out, wonder if something like a vision pro or quest could make a 3D user interface work better than a 2D counterpart.

#105Navigating the galaxies is frustratingly hard. One finger touch moves forward, but it makes very hard to touch a point and see what it is. I keep selecting something past it, especially for large dots, which I'm curious to see what they are. Rotating the device changes the direction but it's hard to point towards a specific star. On the good side it's very nice to look at. I wish there would be something as fast as t…

#109It's strongcanary-a through strongcanary-z, and more.
They're packages designed to test strongly-connected components in a dependency graph.

Looks like this tool passes the test! Cool that it was so identifiable from a distance
