Built and am still improving a public web tool to explore music as a graph instead of a list.

Artists, bands, albums, instruments, collaborations — all navigable as an interactive node network on top of MusicBrainz data.

Music isn’t linear. It’s a web. So this lets you wander it.

Check it out and let me know what you think, all feedback is welcome :)

Hey, this seems like a really cool idea, and I’d love to check it out more.

I think it’s breaking on my iPhone though 😟

But I’ll double check on a desktop when I can.

How are you pulling and analyzing this info from MusicBrainz?

@benpate Answering your question, I have a full DB downloaded on the server, which is why it's that fast. Previously it was running off their API directly, which is pretty slow, so I figured I'd need to have the full thing. Backend is Python, frontend uses https://github.com/vasturiano/react-force-graph , which is pure awesome
