An on-topic question: what software was used to create the network visualisations in this presentation?
I think Gilad used Gephi for the networks visualizations: gephi.org

#32What software was used to make those graphs? Or did I tap through it
I'm pretty sure he used Gephi - gephi.org. You can ask him though :-) @gilgul on twitter

#33The presentation is actually quite interesting and very badly named in terms of describing what it does.
Do not be put off by link title.

#34I remember back in the days of HTML 1.0 or 2.0, they suggested not using the words "click here" in a link since some day you might be able to indicate other ways of following a link besides clicking (or you could already through non-graphical browsers). I think this is the first time I've seen "tap here" when I had to click. It was kind of a weird feeling, like I was pretending to tap by clicking. But my point is "ta…
It took me five minutes to figure out how to navigate past that first page. I thought it was some sort of joke that I just wasn't getting.
On that note, I was only able to get the "right arrow" key to allow me to move forward. Mouse clicking, space bar, and several others didn't work. Am I missing something fundamental?

#35Welp, I admit it. I'm finally too old to use the Internet. I tried clicking the "tap here", but that didn't do anything. I have a touch-enabled tablet, and I tried tapping there. That didn't do anything either. Then I gave up.
Why does my VCR blink 12:00 all the time, anyway?

You, sir, have easily made my evening. Also, I've found that "right arrow" seems to go forward, but it's impossible to go back. As for your VCR, you may have just found yourself in an endless time loop.

I actually think "push" and "pull" make sense on a door since it can go both ways (although you can solve that one by using a handle on the pull side, and a flat rectangle on the push side).
The real thing you shouldn't need to put on a door, though, is how to use it: "Use as an entrance."

Norman's point is probably precisely that you should put the flat plate/handle on as appropriate.

#40Took me a while to figure out it was more than a gif.... on hacker news. Eventually I clicked and figured out it was a slideshow. Is it possible to go back a slide?
I installed the app, and part of the welcome tutorial was that they seemed excited about how you couldn't go backwards "so take your time". They advocate using it for "storytelling": it seems like an irritating medium for a semi-scientific slide deck.
It's in their About page (https://readtapestry.com/about#) too:
>> It's simple: tap to move forward in a story. There’s no going back, so take your time—that’s the whole point!
Not allowing the viewer to know how many slides there are and navigate between them is a terrible, terrible idea.
I think Mike Bostok's Stack is worth a mention: http://mbostock.github.io/stack/#0
