Thank you for creating this project! I share your interest in creating graphs (vide some older project of mine, a map of Stack Exchange tags https://p.migdal.pl/tagoverflow/ https://p.migdal.pl/tagoverflow/). When I dived into various visualization of Subreddits (as a background reading for this side-project https://observablehq.com/@stared/tree-of-reddit-sex-life https://observablehq.com/@stared/tree-of-reddit-sex-life), your vis was the best for exploration (out of many, many). The only other one that I found and this level was a Sigma.js-based https://www.jacobsilterra.com/subreddit_map/network/ https://www.jacobsilterra.com/subreddit_map/network/ (beautiful, but more static).

Yay! Thank you for sharing the links and thank you for your kind words! I see you are doing something with quantum tensors, which is very impressive! I'm still struggling with concept of regular tensors, and would love to have a good intuition/visualization for them - do you have any pointers?

  It depends on what you are looking for. Tensors as in physics (typically with each dimension being related to space(time)), tensors for quantum information & computing, tensors for deep learning? I've found it illuminating to see tensor diagrams. - https://medium.com/@pmigdal/in-the-topic-of-diagrams-i-did-write-a-review-simple-diagrams-of-convoluted-neural-networks-6418a63f9281 https://medium.com/@pmigdal/in-the-topic-of-diagrams-i-did-w... - https://www.math3ma.com/blog/matrices-as-tensor-network-diagrams https://www.math3ma.com/blog/matrices-as-tensor-network-diag... Also, right now, we are developing a matrix visualization in https://github.com/Quantum-Game https://github.com/Quantum-Game. However, it is pretty much work in progress; for a slightly more mature one, go to Quantum Game 2 website and in the element encyclopedia there is one. I am always up for talking about tensors, so feel invited to drop me an email.
