I had a conversation with a friend a few weeks ago that surely this already exists, and if not that someone should make this.
Any plans to filter by mutual paths?
- jwngr 9y agoI'm definitely not the first to think of it or build a tool for it (lots of similar projects gave me inspiration), but I think I'm the first to make it really fast and with a nice usable UI. And to actually open source the code so others can build it themselves. Can you tell me more about what you mean by filtering by mutual paths?
- stirner 9y agoI implemented this pretty naively a while back [1]. I was interested in how yours was so fast. I expected some sort of complex heuristic; cool to see that your solution is straightforward! [1] https://github.com/wwalexander/wikipath https://github.com/wwalexander/wikipath
- kozziollek 9y agoI think GP wanted to find paths in both directions: X -> A -> B -> Y and Y -> C -> D -> X. Possibly where A = D and B = C.
- vanderZwan 9y ago> Can you tell me more about what you mean by filtering by mutual paths? I should have said mutual connections, my apologies. So if article A connects to B and article B also connects to A. I suppose you could do this mostly client-side, all you need is two searches (one the reverse of the other) and an intersection of the resulting graphs, no?
