  1. Post about programming, interesting repos, learning to program, etc. Let's try to keep free software posts in the c/libre comm unless the post is about the programming/is to the repo.

  2. Do not doxx yourself by posting a repo that is yours and in any way leads to your personally identifying information. Use reports if necessary to alert mods to a potential doxxing.

  3. Be kind, keep struggle sessions focused on the topic of programming.

I've been using a package called pyvis for a while to help visualize general graph data, but it's been pretty limited in terms of exposed API for vis.js (which is what it renders in) so I've been working on a more general full featured wrapper in Python that uses a fast graph library backend.

My test project is to visualize the repository as an interactive graph. It builds the html template in under a second right now and I'm planning on trying to make it something you can use to generate interactive repo graphs with.

It's still very WIP, but I think it's fun so I wanted to share.

Also, you can double click any node to have it open the source on GitHub. My goal is to make it host agnostic so you can just slap a repo url in there and it'll generate a graph with properly formatted links. I've got all the components exposed though, so you can manipulate how the link is generated as needed.

This would have been more neglected if I didn't find a use for it at work and was able to get some time to work on it there.

Turns out management likes when things are presented in a pretty format like this
