- IBI built a biological network visualization tool2025 · nodes.bio · ▲39
I've been working on nodes.bio - an interactive tool for visualizing biological networks and systems thinking. The tool features interactive network visualization powered by Cytoscape.js, with real-time graph editing and manipulation capabilities. It supports JSON import/export and provides a responsive design that works seamlessly on the desktop (mobile-friendly version coming later). The tech stack combines modern frontend technologies with robust backend architecture. The frontend uses Next.js 14 with TypeScript and Cytoscape.js for the visualization engine. The backend is built with…
Pinecone Explorer – Desktop GUI for the Pinecone vector databaseJan 2026 · pinecone-explorer.com · ▲312 weeks ago, I posted chroma-exploter here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46624731 and it received a lot of positive feedback. So I decided to build a similar tool for Pinecone. While both being vector databases, Pinecone is more enterprise grade and a lot more functionally rich than Chroma, hence a separate app. This Mac native app makes it easier to work with Pinecone data, with all types of indexes (dense, sparse and hybird) and supports reranking.
