Thanks for the compliment! The larger graph is basically built by extracting all relationships of certain types (e.g. parent/child, teacher/student, cause/effect) from Wikidata, along with the earliest known date for the items (e.g. date of birth, time of invention/discovery). The layout started as a 3D force-directed layout, but I turned one axis into the timeline. For the visualization, I used (forked) https://github.com/anvaka/pm (which did get some deserved attention here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40817852 ) and the related ngraph.offline.layout repo. Trying to answer your final question: there are a lot of things that I should probably improve here, but I've also wondered if this kind of giant graph visualization just doesn't really work for most people.

Anvanka provides detailed instructions here[0]. Nowadays I would also consider using Cosmograph[1]. [0]: https://github.com/anvaka/pm?tab=readme-ov-file#your-own-gra... [1]: https://github.com/cosmograph-org

What's used to compute distance? I couldn't find any legend or description (mobile). Edit Ah, noticed the bottom-right about: https://github.com/anvaka/pm/tree/master/about#software-gala... Distance is seemingly arbitrary, decided by clustering algorithm.

Yeah that is what I came to ask here as well. Also no p2... Edit: I see someone open an issue for it https://github.com/anvaka/pm/issues/2

Better/faster Javascript interactive graph visualization engines: - https://github.com/anvaka/ngraph.pixel - https://github.com/anvaka/VivaGraphJS and for large graphs: - https://github.com/anvaka/pm with a pretty impressive example, displaying the whole internet (BGP adjacencies): http://as2914.net/

They are not standardized. However if you'd like to render your graphs in this tool refer to this doc: https://github.com/anvaka/pm#your-own-graphs
