I tried searching for "Armin Van Buuren" and then clicking on the name but it just kept loading after that :(

    hmm that's weird... have you succeeded with any other artist or perhaps after reloading? Also if any message appears on your browsers console that could help me out :) Tested on different browsers with different people many times and it loaded correctly, kind of hard to debug

      The same thing happened to me. I like the idea though. Maybe have a look at Sentry, so you can surface Javascript errors and messages.

OP here: Hey, i have built an interactive web app where you can choose any artist OR band OR band member that you love and quickly find out who's in that band (if you choose a band) or what bands are related to an artist (if you choose a person). After that, you can drag and drop the nodes in the network to start exploring connections. You can even drop any artist into the network (through the plus sign in the search bar), making possible some really cool visualizations. You can also fix/unfix nodes, open up the artist spotify top tracks and spawn spotify related artists for a particular node (if spotify has that artist in it`s db).

If it sounds confusing, check out the quick tutorial by clicking in the (?) icon. (HN icon not working yet though)

This is my first node/javascript project ever, so let me know what you think :)
