Did anyone see the new pathing algorithm for connecting graph nodes that made some rounds on twitter? It looked way better than a normal force-directed graph. I can’t remember what it was exactly, and have lost the reference, but it was a side effect of solving what looked like a traffic problem.

Do you mean Yu, Schumacher and Crane's repulsive curves, as shown in figure 26 of https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Projects/RepulsiveCurves/Rep... ?

Hope it helps! There used to be a program called dotty, looks like it was basically abandoned, though. :(
it’s there in the graphviz github repo.

But it is only x11, right? Not sure how well it is supported on the platforms you can run it on. And I don't have x on my work computer.

That is a different point than "basically abandoned" :-) I do use X11 programs on Unix and MacOS (so far XQuartz works well enough). And probably Microsoft Windows though I don't use it.
My feeling is likely impacted as much from the fact that I've never met anyone that used it.

My graphviz-fu got so much better when I started using invisible objects for the grid-like layouts. At that point you're just using graphviz for positioning/spacing/styling instead of creating the overall topology.
This sounds interesting, can you expand on that a bit please?
