And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that, judging by the number of GitHub notifications flying out of the Alchemy.js project that this project is under VERY active development and getting better and better. Alchemy.js is, to my mind, the most likely candidate solution to recognize the distinction and importance of "design scale" graph visualization vis a vis BigData graph visualization.
Design scale visualization is what is needed for #GraphGist authoring as GraphGists become increasingly used as design documents and for exploratory prototyping in addition to its obvious current primary use in creating educational materials. Design-scale visualization is not about how many nodes you can show and move around, its all about expressiveness -- showing label-based subsets within bounding box, non-overlapping relations when more than one relation is displayed between two nodes, easy-CSS styling, etc. While I wish the good GraphAlchemist folks well as they move toward competing with folks like KeyLines and Linkurious in the BigDataViz space, I truly hope that Alchemy.js distinguishes itself by providing the BEST POSSIBLE GraphGist design-viz support available. In fact, if I were Neo Technology I'd be financially encouraging GraphAlchemist to do just that; ensure that Alchemy.js has SUPERB GraphGist design-viz support because GraphGists will increasingly be ultra-effective in consultative-selling in the enterprise space. (I don't expect Neo to do this for 'the rest of us', we'd just be the beneficiaries of Neo making its products more competitive in the enterprise space.)
