       | Unlike the other comments, I don't think the site about tree
       | organizations should be organized like a tree. The authors are
       | well read in tree visualizations, in the site you can filter by
       | "Dimensionality" or "Representation" or "Alignment", and you can
       | _combine_ these tags. The authors don 't use trees because they
       | know the limitations.

       | This reply isn't filed under the intended two posts it should
       | reference because of limitations of how comments are structured
       | on HN.

         | ever encountered a "forum" or "chat" eher you can kind of star
         | merge several threads with a single reply?

           | I can only think of _Futaba-style discussion boards,_ that
           | is, 4chan. On 4chan threads are linear, but you 're supposed
           | to reply to posts by mentioning their unique post no. For
           | example, the above comment would want to mention >>33566411
           | and >>33566389. You can mention as many posts as want. The
           | posts get a backlink, so the thread is a navigable, true
           | graph structure. Reading discussion on 4chan can be confusing
           | as a deep chain of replies can branch out to mention a recent
           | surface post, and to understand what's going on you have to
           | both delve down focused reply chains but also be aware of
           | incoming posts that are displayed cutting across any one
           | discussion.
           | 
           | Here is a typical 4chan thread that demos this:
           | 
           | https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/87053939/#87081210
           | 
           | I chose to link a post where a picture visualizes a 4chan
           | thread in a directed graph. Also, a screen above there's a
           | "Thanks." to several other posts, in one post.

       | Of course this begs the question why they aren't represented by
       | some sort of tree visualization.                 Tree
       | visualization is one of the best-studied areas of information
       | visualization; researchers have developed more than 200
       | visualization and layout techniques for trees. The treevis.net
       | project aims to provide a hand-curated bibliographical reference
       | to this ever-growing wealth of techniques. It offers a visual
       | overview that users can filter to a desired subset along the
       | design criteria of dimensionality, edge representation, and node
       | alignment. Details, including links to the original publications,
       | can be brought up on demand. Treevis.net has become a community
       | effort, with researchers sending in preprints of their tree
       | visualization techniques to be published or pointing out
       | additional information.

       | Very interesting. I especially like the filtering and the older
       | examples. Too bad most are behind paywalls.
       | 
       | Edit: Somebody else had the same thought heh.
       | 
       | Bunch of other types of visualization collections in the dropdown
       | top-left. Appears to be suffering from link rot.
       | 
       | OP any backstory?
