Significant progress was made on the historic blogroll graph. Most of the work was transforming the OPML files that can be rendered with D3. There were also a few anomalies in the data that needed to be handled. The results are on the blogroll page. It needs work, especially from a visual standpoint. Some basic interactivity would also go a long way towards making it more usable.
I made heavy use of Copilot on this, which reduced what might have been a day’s worth of effort (for me) to a couple hours. Watching some random dude on Youtube attempt to vibecode his way into a money-making app was the inspiration for using Copilot. Watching the way he worked for a few minutes changed how I used these LLM tools. Thanks random Youtube influencer!
