Very nice visualisation!

It would be good to gracefully handle large graphs. I typed in "torvalds/linux" and my tab froze!

Yeah, I should've probably put up a warning not to try huge repos.

Here's what torvalds/linux looks like on the visualizer (pretty cool!): https://imgur.com/a/AHNcn

That's incredible. I feel like I'm looking at a cell slide of a living organism.
You might be interested in Gource then, it visualizes a repo in a very similar manner, but animates along the commit timeline.

Here's a recording of the linux repo being parsed by gource. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iFnzr73XXk

Yup, that was what came to mind at first too!
