orb VS GraphTerm

I needed an algorithm to calculate the users’ scores. PageRank came to my mind and it worked great. Memgraph has PageRank already implemented, so I could easily use it. Next, I had to make the backend and the frontend part of the application. On the backend, I used Fast API and on the frontend, I used Material UI with the new graph visualization library Orb.

Orb Events is an implementation of the in-browser EventEmitter that offers several events (e.g. node/edge clicked, render started/ended, node dragged, etc.). You can subscribe to those events and do any action on top of them. A full list of events that the Orb emits can be found here.

Memgraph Lab is a visual user interface that can also render graphs. It uses an open-source visualization library called Orb, which allows the implementation of visualizations in the frontend code. The visualizations are adaptable and customizable using a graph-style editor defined by the GSS language.

Yes, it is. You can check out the repo at https://github.com/memgraph/orb

I was an early employee at the first round of graphistry.com. I'm really proud of Leo and that he took it from the brink and put it back on the market and is growing it.

I think more people should build more graph visualization engines, but you're going to have a hard time competing with how slick pygraphistry is, but there is not enough alternatives that are worth a shit. Graphistry, when I left was able to do half a billion nodes all memory resident in the browser? Our goal was a billion. I'm not sure what it can do now but it has UMAP and some other very fancy features.

Here's a stupid unmaintained thing I made that got me the job at Graphistry. I did not build the graph vis engine, but I did write the procedural color lib.
