A few thoughts:

1. This is amazing. I wish I had it years ago, and I could use it now.

2. I like the visualization but my favorite thing is the sense of completeness and influence I get when I look at articles. Rather than relying on someone's opinion of the most influential article, I can see the article and the influence right there.

3. This is early days but I am already running into the frustration of not being able to see all the articles out there. This probably has to do with publishers and paywalls and what not, so probably not your fault, but it is still a problem that has to be dealt with in order to render this truly useful. ()

() interestingly, over time, it may not matter as much when every paper has a version on ARXIV, but in 2021 I was looking for papers influenced by work done as far ago as the 80s and 90s.
