been pretty interested in graph layout for a while now. there are a lot of really cool algorithms created in the last decade or so that look a lot better (imho) than the force-directed default layout for a bunch of datasets. so i read through some papers and wrote a little bit about them! https://macwright.com/2026/01/11/graph-layout

@ingrid @tmcw the difference between the PDF and the experimental HTML render for this of all papers is 😙 👌

@nasser @ingrid @tmcw Some of the figures in the 2015 hola paper remind me of the Tuesday Again dog.
