What are best knowledge graph visualisation you came across?
I have been trying to create perfect graph visualisation without success, every time I think I am getting close, but at the end it just does not work. Do you think it is even possible?

They look cool and can be used for debugging and to represent scale, but unfortunately generally speaking they're just more confusing than a table of links, a jumbly mess. Would love to be proven wrong.

I don’t think a perfect general-purpose graph visualization exists. Once the graph becomes meaningful, showing everything usually produces an unreadable hairball. Start with the user’s question, show a small relevant neighborhood, and let them expand by relationship type, time, or confidence.
The graph should help someone inspect a decision, not prove that many nodes exist. We use SIGNLD internally to connect business entities across systems and surface only the subgraph supporting a particular answer, while keeping the underlying relationships available for deeper inspection.

Smaller ones? Obsidian graph view, even if it lacks edge labels. Big ones? A table. But then it’s never really pleasant.
