We got inspired by the work Mike Bostock has been doing with D3 and wanted to experiment with how we could extend the library in more of an application interface setting than just charting, so we built Nodal: http://nodal.me<p>The project is built on Python/Flask/Heroku. Read more about the experiment here: http://mattstockton.com/2012/11/30/navigating-your-network-graph-with-nodal/

Congrats on launching this :)<p>I would suggest putting the title you have for this Show HN post on the landing page right at the top, since it's hard to know what exactly it is that I'm putting my github username in for.<p>As for the graph, it's awesome and fun to play with! I found the "close" button on selecting people a bit small to click.
The idea is great! But why all the people I connected to are at the same distance? I'd expect to see closer to my node users with a strong relationship with me
