Hello Simon, Yea, I had this <https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/GraphVisualize.jl/issues/1> discussion with @CarloLucibello <https://github.com/CarloLucibello> on how to proceed with the library. He is trying to implement a similar thing using GLVisualize as you can see here <https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/GraphVisualize.jl/>. As you said, I would love to implement a backend-independent package for visualizing graphs so that it can be used with any backend as and when required. And yeah, I've tried out your package. It is pretty nice and it will definitely reduce the latency issue that we face while using WebGL. Using GLVisualize, user can interact with the nodes by moving them around, which is actually pretty nice. So, as the work progress, I think I'll definitely try to use GLVisualize as backend since it provides more flexibility compared to ThreeJS.
