To me this is proof that doing a good visualization is really an art. I saw this on hn for a couple hours, but really didn't think much of it. As soon as I clicked through the funny names, and "continents" brought a smile to my face.<p>I guess my little project is too small to make it, but now I too aspire to join the great nation of Golandia.
I love these things - to see everything sort of classified, and all at once, helps me find things I would never think to look for. Forgive me if this has been posted somewhere else, but if you want to see a reddit map, here it is (maybe you found it already in their github, but I just have it as a bookmark): <a href="https://anvaka.github.io/map-of-reddit/?x=18083.096950551575&y=19980.1478781304&z=19152.50551819642&v=2" rel="nofollow">https://anvaka.github.io/map-of-reddit/?x=18083.096950551575...</a>
This gives a really cool top level view into the whole Chinese opensource community - which has always been very mysterious to me. Bc it's absolutely massive and almost entirely on its own doing its own thing due to the language barrier
Check out other anvaka's projects, there are gems: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=anvaka.github.io" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=anvaka.github.io</a>
This is amazing, the GitHub ham radio and hardware scenes are way bigger than I previously thought. Shout-out to OpenRTX and M17 along with all the awesome SDR applications!
I'm embarrassed to admit that I read "stars" in the title and spent far too long trying to figure out how these were arranged into constellations.
This is absolutely awesome. Such a good job well done! The search is fast! The sidebar is a great feature. I also love how you highlight the repositories you search for and draw red lines between things.<p>I found my journal repositories in the "Land of Node" in "Frontartia". I am surprised by that because I didn't realise I was associated with the node community!<p>I am so impressed with your visualization, it is intuitive and interesting the different communities of GitHub.
This is amazing! I love this effect of showing me that my little project that I was working on fairly solitarily is actually part of a community of other people doing similar work that I can reach out to/collaborate with etc!<p>What does it mean if, I click on a repo, and it shows 5-6 links to specific projects? Does that just mean the jaccard similarity index was below a threshold?
This is great, not just nice to look at but useful too. Top work!<p>How it was constructed (also really interesting) is described at the repo:<p><a href="https://github.com/anvaka/map-of-github#readme">https://github.com/anvaka/map-of-github#readme</a>
I'm quite unhappy with SBCL located in Schemaria:<p><a href="https://anvaka.github.io/map-of-github/#12/13.469/-8.175" rel="nofollow">https://anvaka.github.io/map-of-github/#12/13.469/-8.175</a><p>It should be Lispaña.
AILandia was big before but now has been growing at an astounding rate almost surpassing Frontera.<p>Some say it's a cancer others say it's inevitable and here to stay. Probably both are right.<p>Also, why is Swiftoria so big?
1. this is so cool. i'd love to see more name for the regions!
2. nit: one repo dear to my heart dbt-labs/dbt-core was previously dbt-labs/dbt as well as fishtownanalytics/dbt. they show up as unique nodes on your map. what most interesting to me is that each name of this repo links to a different set of related repos?
Very cool!<p>If you work on a dynamic version that allows users to understand changes in the open-source topography over time and detect/predict new clusters, this could be a very powerful tool for investment intelligence.
Easier than maintaining a wiki!<p><a href="https://wiki.thingsandstuff.org/Audio" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.thingsandstuff.org/Audio</a> etc.
This is so fun, thanks for making it.<p>I bet that several of these regions have a common image in their readme (the python logo, the nix logo, etc). Imagine little flags popping out of each region...
If you type a capital letter into the search box, it gets stuck on "downloading index" indefinitely.<p>I was waiting for about 10 minutes wondering how big these indexes were...
IDK how I feel about Kubernation: Firecracker, Grafana, Localstack, Podman, Terraform, Vault?<p>Seems like a really overreaching power. Wait, never mind, that makes sense.
Very cool visualisation!<p>Though I noticed a couple of odd groupings - like that MicroPython was clustered in Arduinoria rather than the adjacent MicroPythonia... :P
This reveals an interesting dichotomy in the project I work on, Hail. I think of hail as a serverless workflow, relational, and linear algebra system most similar to Dask, BigQuery, Snowflake, Spark, etc. but this map is constructed from the perspective of the <i>user</i> so Hail lands squarely in the world of bioinformatics.<p>Also neat to see how bioinformatics is such a splitbrained community. They land next to R but are filled with Python projects.
The title is clickbaity in a very clever way, and I mean this as a compliment! I thought about what it says for almost a minute before clicking. Stars being made into Github projects? Would I find Orion and Alpha Centauri? I thought hard on about how to pull this off.<p>Then I clicked and I realized that it is the opposite way, in reverse. And then this realization brought a smile on my face.
