<p>Very cool! I like how cool it is to see the graph, but at the current density it’s a bit hard to read.<p>I’ve been working on a similar project for biblical texts. For example, here’s a character detail page for David: <a href="https://hypr.bible/en/entities/person/david/" rel="nofollow">https://hypr.bible/en/entities/person/david/</a><p>I’m finding that character dictionaries like this are useful to people who want to engage with ancient texts but are not very familiar with them, but even if one is familiar, they are still quite helpful.</p>
