The "N" in HN stands for "news". Is there anything new about networkx to talk about?

I believe it's really useful that sometimes things resurface on HN after a while.

1. Exposure of techniques, tools to people that are new to the field, or now the context is right.

2. People with experience share their insights and opinions (TIL: Igraph an/cugraph)

I'd add to that, the comments are fresh on resurfaced article, so if there is a new competitor or alternative it get's mentioned.

Graph theory underpins nearly everything we do in software development and computer science. Networkx is an expansive -- though not the only -- package for Python that'll solve 90% of people's problems.

I didn't know about networkxx - until today..

yeah I will admit I was conflicted in posting this, but I see a few instances of posts like this, and it was very useful for a recent project. I was really fishing for alternatives though :)

So much "news" these days is just unadulterated crass clickbait, that a friendly reminder to revisit interesting subjects really does qualify as above average "news", yes. Sadly?
