How to build a graph visualization engine and why you shouldn’t
8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Sep 2022

I'm currently using vis-network [1] as the graph display for a Fraud analysis UI. Cosmos looked really good when I checked it but as you very well mention it wasn't able to style vertices with different images/icons and not sure if it was able to style edges color and width. All of this is heavily used in my use case. Hopefully it gets these features as it matures

I custom-built this high resolution character map for TLK and wanted to gift it to the community. Please note that it's not perfect, as I ignored minor and/or unlinkable characters. Let me know if I missed anything major. I also built an interactive visualization tool if there's interest. Enjoy<3

I'm not familiar with Animate by name. The viewer is pretty straight-forward given the underlying library (https://github.com/visjs/vis-network) if you come from a tech background. The trick is coming up with a maintainable way to manage the data structure for the network as it scales up. I wanted to type as little as possible to make additions :).
