I've talked to a few people who've had similar ideas! In fact there is a pretty long history of people in visualization/hci communities creating applications like this. There's an extended abstract that goes along with this work that details this history.
Dropping the root node is an interesting idea!
- taliesinb 7y agoDo you mind linking to the abstract? Would like to read that history.
- ventedfins 7y agoI'm trying to figure out if i'm allowed to post it publicly yet, in the mean time shoot me a message (on say twitter @_mcnutt_) and I'll send it to you

- jcims 7y agoHave you thought about extending the graph to include links found in the individual comments? Internal links to HN could surface those threads and external link nodes could show all stories with said link to find related content. Unrelated, might be fun to surface some kind of iconography to indicate semantics of the content (e.g. flames/smilies/etc)
