I've created Tree of Knowledge (tree-of-knowledge.org), a dynamic visualization tool that organizes all fields of knowledge into an interactive tree structure (generated by AI). As a Computer Science student, I built this to make exploring and connecting different areas of knowledge more intuitive and engaging. You can satiate your curiosity and grasp anything a click away... fast and easy.

Key features: - Start from the green 'Knowledge' node to explore the entire tree - Customize your own Start Node to focus on any specific area (this can be anything!) - Interactive interface for easy navigation through all fields, and to any depth you desire

I'm looking for feedback and suggestions on how to improve this project. Any thoughts on features, scalability, usability, or potential applications would be greatly appreciated!

You can reach me for anything at pierre.treeofknowledge@gmail.com

I hope you find this project as exciting as I do.

Much thanks, Pierre

Pretty neat!

Some unsorted Feedback:

- some recommendations where to start apart from "knowledge" would probably help. "Choose any word" kind of prompts are cool, but also overwhelming

- the contrast for "Node Information" is really low (Firefox, Laptop)

- I know this is a free tool and all, but some "selling" could help. What do I gain from your tool? Which pain point does it attack, how does this make me better faster stronger? Where to integrate this in, say, an academic workflow?

Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you! This is much kind.

1) You can use "the reproduction of snails", or "Call of Duty mastery", or "Learning Chess > Chess psychology > Visualization techniques"... There is no end to what you can learn. The sky is the limit!

2) Thanks I'll fix that at the next update, if you mean the grey colour of the box.

3) This is a revolutionary tool because you can see how a domain is organized, so you can catch in one glance what you can learn, and select the most interesting to you, with very high Signal to Noise ratio. This is probably better than Wikipedia when it comes to strolling around the fields of knowledge. This is a bit preposterous to say, but I say it. To add it in a academic workflow, you just type the name of your related domain, and don't be afraid to be very specific. TOK (tree of knowledge) will give you most pertinent information to help you understand and grok all of the complex information for you. I'll add a feature soon to generate quizz/coursework for any given node. Stay tuned.

I'm happy I got only 4 upvotes because I couldn't handle a heavy load for now. And I'm thankful for these upvotes. The website will stay up for the time being. If one day it is down, send me a email and I'll give you the code.

See you!

great work Pierre.

Thanks

Hey, neat idea :)

Is the source code available somewhere?

Send me an email and in a few days/weeks I might make it open source, I am considering it. In the meantime maybe you'll get a peek. It's nothing interesting, though. Fast to replicate for an intermediate programmer.

Dark mode please. Looking forward to exploring the tree.

Done!

Fantastic! Thank you very much.
