<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">netjsongraph.js has attracted quite some interest from around the world, but I couldn’t dedicate much time to it recently. It is also lacking automated tests and a modern build process. Probably it would be better to develop it using ES6 (which have some kind of built-in templating feature) and transpile it with babel.js.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Our goals should be the following:</p>
<ul style="margin:1.2em 0px;padding-left:2em">
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">make it faster with large numbers</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">make it more mobile friendly</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">use modern tools that are familiar to JS developers, so they can contribute more easily</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">add automated tests so we can be more confident of introducing changes</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">get rid of complex features</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">make it easy to extend, so users can experiment and build their own derivatives</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">make it easy to redraw/update the graph as new data comes in, at least at the library level we should support this</li>
