I'm working on all sorts of things, but am hampered by the facts that I have (a) no skillz, (b) no time, and (c) no money.

But I have a version of this to visualise Mastodon discussion, HN discussions, and I have a tool that lets you have discussions directly in the graph format, including being able to tie threads together to help people come to conclusions.

So, sort of. It's all a long way off being usable, though.

Isn't printing newlines and tabs easier than graphviz?

I guess I don't understand what's being suggested, because this comment makes no sense to me. I have a large and complex DiGraph ... are you suggesting there's a simple way of laying it out using plain text?

Here's an example of another chart produced by my system:

How would you produce that with newlines and tabs? If you're suggesting the usual linear/indented version that existing social media systems use, that's exactly what I'm trying to get away from, so I can properly visualise the entire tree, seeing descendants as descendants, and not as a comment a long way down the page.

Maybe I'm just not understanding what you're suggesting.
