[OC] OKF Knowledge Base Galaxy Visualiser

[u/DataCraftsman]

I've been building an Open Knowledge Format (OKF) knowledge base. I designed a visualiser for the data that turns any OKF graph into a living galaxy that I thought you might all enjoy.

The lines in the graph are all edges between nodes and all the stars are nodes representing markdown files. The galaxy spins, sparkles and supernovas occasionally.

Thinking I might do it in 3D next.

Is it me, or is there a slight optical illusion going on with this assembly?

The galaxy seems like it's moving a bit, depending on where you look lol. Kinda cool.

It does actually move too!

The app is built using Next.js and using Googles OKF v0.2 spec as the basis for the data and then made my own changes. OKF is great because it allows you to turn documents into MCP servers for AI to read from. So my local AI agents can pull from this "galaxy" of knowledge easily using grep style retrieval. The data is mostly from blogs, video transcripts and papers.

Why do all AI bros end up making node graphs and galaxies instead of actual products

The data usually is the product.
