Thanks! Worth also mentioning Sigma.js, the open source core on which we are building our toolkit.

Yeah, building a great graph engine is hard!

I like a lot about:

-- Cola (flexible constraint-based): http://marvl.infotech.monash.edu/webcola/

-- Vivagraph (big graphs in webgl) doesn't get enough love: http://www.yasiv.com/graphs#Bai/rw496

Getting the best of both is hard, hence our real-time GPU clusters. It'll be longer before we can usefully open that up that layer =/

Cola has great algorithms! Hopefully they will be implemented as a Sigma plugin (https://github.com/qinfchen/sigmajs-webcola).

Still, GPU clusters beat all for performance. I'd love to see a demo :)
