Thanks for sharing. I'd suggest adding a bit of descriptive prose / "about" / readme / FAQ on the linked page. Also, its layout is suboptimal on mobile safari

  > I'd suggest adding a bit of descriptive prose / "about" / readme / FAQ on the linked page. I think this would be essential. I've been clicking around on it, and it's not entirely clear to me how to work it. I may be an idiot, but I'd really love some instructions. EDIT: I just now managed to see the "wait I'm lost" link toward the bottom. It took some doing (that's part of the page that gets clipped). I'm now following the walkthrough -- perhaps that will clarify things for me. Edit edit: OK, I think I have a basic understanding of what's up. It's overly complex for my needs, though -- I think I prefer the normal comment threads.

  Unfortunately this work isn't really targeted at mobile devices. It seems to work reasonably well on tablet size device (IMO), but I wasn't really sure how to address phones. I think there was some work in the earlier 00's that tried to use treemaps as a way to explore social graphs on phones that had styluses but I haven't really heard of stuff since then
