Your notification for having JS disabled made me chuckle.

One suggestion I have is that the graph view seems to clutter up pretty fast. Maybe have a slider that increases the length of the lines between the vertices. Also, a SVG export would be cool for visualizing related concepts.

Glad you found one of the Easter eggs :D

The graph visualization / performance is definitely not ideal. I spent a ton of time trying to make d3 more performant and layout the graph more nicely, but ultimately I just had to cut my losses and go with what I had. I do think there is room for improvement and I'll look into your suggestion, which is something I didn't consider. SVG export is also a great idea!

Interesting you used d3. I used sigma.js on a very similar project in the past and only had performance issues with giant graphs. http://sigmajs.org/

Easter egg? I never have JS enabled on random websites.
