love it!! I am looking for a tool to construct a PERT visualization, but it require to be a activity-on-node type of graph does Greuler allows to construct such type of graphs?

I'm sure you can do it, the layout is powered by WebCola which has an example of a DAG: http://marvl.infotech.monash.edu/webcola/examples/downwarded..., greuler is more like a tool that provides the necessary methods to interact with the nodes/edges of the graph in a nice way

Whenever I see a new graph visualization tool, I instantly start dragging the nodes around like a madman to see how well the graph "balances" in the viewport. I soon noticed there was a tutorial was running while I was manipulating the position of the nodes, and regardless of how much stretching and pulling I did to try breaking the tutorial, it worked flawlessly as if I wasn't even touching it. That, I thought, was really awesome. Well done!

Cool. Any way I could connect my Neo4j API and visualize the db or individual requests?

Yes, this would be excellent. Most people who would be using this in a serious way would likely run the bulk of their queries on the serverside in their graph DB, and then perhaps allow a bit of graph manipulation in the browser just to visualize the results for users.

Some kind of hooking of a graph DB API would make this perfect.

This actually is the power of the algorithm behind webcola, not totally anything greuler does. Still cool though :)

Looks nice. I do find the headlines drawing themselves a letter at a time to be kind of distracting. I makes it hard to scan down the page, as the headlines aren't there.

Agreed. The font choice was also very odd. Everything else looks incredibly cool though!
