Show HN: The Lobste.rs invitation tree, visualized(alexjacobs08.github.io) Lobste.rs makes its entire invitation tree public. I scraped it and built this interactive visualization. Some interesting patterns: - The top 10 inviters are responsible for ~40% of all users. - The tree is surprisingly shallow: Most users are only 4-6 generations from the founder. Max depth is around 15. Built with Sigma.js for WebGL rendering. Works on mobile too. (I am seeking a lobste.rs invite if anyone's willing! – my email is in my profile) |
