## What it is
An interactive web-based map visualization of 690,000+ GitHub projects, where each dot is a repository positioned by Jaccard similarity of stargazers and grouped into 1,500+ clusters. It renders the clustered graph as a browsable geographic-style map using MapLibre with vector tiles.

## Use cases
- explore the GitHub ecosystem visually
- find projects similar to ones I've starred
- discover programming communities and clusters
- browse related open-source repositories by theme
- visualize how GitHub projects cluster together

## When to choose
- you want to visually explore and discover GitHub projects by similarity
- you need an inspirational overview of the open-source landscape
- you want to find related repositories based on shared stargazers

## When to avoid
- you need precise, queryable repository search rather than visual exploration
- you need up-to-the-minute data (the map is a periodic snapshot)
- you need an API or programmatic access to the similarity data

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, search-engine, graphics
- domain: data-visualization, developer-tools, analytics, social-media
- platform: browser
- tags: github, map, clustering, force-layout, maplibre, exploration, web, javascript
