Creator here. Six Degrees of Wikipedia is a side project I've been sporadically hacking on over the past few years. It was an interesting technical challenge and it's fun to play with the end result. Here's the tech stack:

  * Frontend: React (Create React App)
  * Backend: Python Flask
  * Database: SQLite
  * Web (frontend) hosting: Firebase Hosting
  * Server (backend) hosting: Google Compute Engine (it runs fine on a tiny f1-micro instance)
All the code is open source[1] and I'm happy to answer any questions about building or maintaining it!

Hi jwngr,

Thanks for the cool hack. Its nice.

How about representing the destination page as a circle around the whole graph, instead of a node? so that all the paths can be drawn in different directions but still reaching the same page. I somehow feel that it might look more beautiful.
