Visualizing Connections
summary
Explores concrete builds and lessons: interactive browser visuals using D3.js, star maps built from Stellarium (28 cultures) with vector math for parallel constellation lines, a 3,000-person royal tree tamed by grouping current leaders and gravity tweaks plus hoverable six-degree and shortest-path interactions, a Guardian project cleaning typos with fuzzy matching to map 35,000 one-way journeys into animated streamlets, a UNESCO network of ~2,000 nodes and 12,000 edges simplified by using primary concepts and community detection, and an Alice “depth circle” for service dependencies using web workers — all shipped and reused.
