Description
This is a lot of fun, but it could be unironically-useful if it visualized "that one guy in Nebraska", so you could see how much of your tower depended on incredibly few maintainers.
Not even sure how this could be graphically-valid, because unfortunately a LOT of dependencies would end up being one-pixel-wide stilts under huge packages with lots of contributors. Maybe a color option that just maps a red to green frequent to number of contributors would be useful (though a bit outside the xkcd-homage aesthetic).
Anyway, love the project! I would love to see it become a kind of standard for visualizing dependencies, which I think a metric like I've proposed could do.
