Pretty neat paper linked from the bottom (https://github.com/coyotebush/github-network-analysis/raw/ma...), it would be neat to see how the correlations changed if you tweaked some of the constants.

Analyzing a larger dataset would be neat indeed, though somewhat more challenging. Especially for the layout algorithm to produce something nice in a reasonable amount of time.

There are ~11k repos with >= 100 stars, compared to the 825 I had here (fewer after filtering for the giant component).

Fair, I'd say you might just want to have a searchable db of relationships instead of the visualization (or maybe do something google-maps-esque, where as you zoom you load relationships that you can see...).

Wow this looks awesome.

I wish I could search for other repositories not on the graph already to discover other related open source projects.

So Twitter Bootstrap is the king of github...

Can't help it, reminds me of EVE Online.

I wonder how much BigQuery quota did you use while testing this stuff?

Heh, nearly 80GB... and that's with mostly testing out the queries on the smaller publicdata:samples.github_timeline dataset.

Really wish I could zoom in to take a closer look at specific links.

Scroll to zoom. Sorry that's not noted anywhere.

Doesn't seem usable with a Magic Mouse - scrolling is way too sensitive.

Been waiting to see this for a while...

what is x and y? what is the color?

I /think/ color is the language it's programed in. A key would be really handy.

Yeah, per the footer, color is the primary programming language as identified by GitHub. A key felt like a bit too much clutter; you can always click on a repository to open its page and note the language listed.
