Built this due to my passion to explore the connections between known people, now data includes entities from EU, USA and CA. There is also a Trivia game section that i built to know/explore new persons and discover facts. Best for desktop use.
Tech stach used:
- ArangoDB because its native for graph traversal, great for storing Wikidata format style
- Backend API Python with FastAPI, well known and stable library
- Frontend Vue 3 + Vite, fast and stable enough
- Cytoscape.js, for graph visualization, traversal and animations
- Redis for caching frequent people requests and game rounds
Wikidata and Wikimedia commons are used as data source.
Hope you find entertaining and fast exploring the graph, let me know if you have features, improvements or find bugs (there is also a report button in site "about" section). This webapp looks interesting to me, but I'm looking for ways to expand the types of connections shown.
