Thank you @Niclas Ahden for the Joy platform, I used that to make an online playground which was helpful for testing.
Luke Boswell (Aug 14 2026 at 05:19):Also thank you @Jasper Woudenberg for RVN which is nice to use for the graph data input.
Luke Boswell (Aug 14 2026 at 05:20):The docs/examples/playground look a little vibe coded -- I kind of spent all my time getting it working and definitely underestimated how deep this particular topic is. But happy to get something working to share.
Aurélien Geron (Aug 16 2026 at 08:22):I tried it out, it's really cool! Nice use of Joy. :+1:
Luke Boswell (Aug 19 2026 at 07:08):@Jeroen Vennegoor op Nijhuis found this today https://crates.io/crates/elkrs -- I had an idea that I may try out ... but if I was building this again from scratch, I could have implemented a test platform using Rust that uses that crate and then set a goal for a byte for byte implementation with that across the test cases. That may have been a more reliable approach than the one I took, and also result in an implementation based on a mature library.
Tobias Steckenborn (Aug 19 2026 at 09:05):Something like that https://reactflow.dev/ as a reusable part with datastar or the like as tech would be <3 :sweat_smile:
Niclas Ahden (Aug 27 2026 at 06:55):I'm late to the party, but this is super cool! I kind of want to add a graph feature to some app I work on just to use this :P
