Show HN: PG Number – I scraped 100k pages to find proximity to Paul Graham

Erdős Number is an individual's "collaborative distance" to Paul Erdős.

I calculated the "PG number" for everybody Paul Graham thanks in his essays.

I then recursively found their blogs, and extracted the people that they thank in their essays.

This is still a work in progress. The data is open-source and I'm continuing to add edges on Github (linked on the website).
