Inspired by projects like littlesis.org this too aims to be "the involuntary social-media of the 1%". For now, mainly focused on Austrian politics and its surroundings.
Here are some preview images of what the page will look like eventually - however, keep in mind that this project is still undergoing major development (even though I kinda started working on this a long time ago).
Image 1: The search & person/organization info page.
Image 2: A preview of what an extended network graph could look like.
Also, here is the Entity Relationship Diagram of the database behind this project - as exported using DataGrip.
Also ... I'll probably still change this in the future, as I'm not really happy about many things here, but... I'll stick with it for now 💩. I mean, I just want to have something that works for now - I can always fix stuff later... right?!

Here a collection of ideas that would be really nice to have in a somewhat finished version of this project.
| Status | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ | Socials | Have an extra section for the social media accounts of people/organizations. |
| ❌ | Social media mutuals | It would also be amazing to integrate a tool such as my own d4v1d which could automatically crawl the social media account of people/organizations in order to import social media mutuals into the connections graph. |
| ❌ | Graph queries | Being able to run queries on the graph of connections - e.g. "find the shortest path of connections between these two people", etc. |
| 🔃 | Tags | Assign tags to people that can then be used in queries as well - e.g. "neonazi", "lobbyist", "aristocrat", etc. |
| ❌ | Timelines | Instead of just writing everything in a entity's bio, actually split information up a bit - i.e. have a timeline of releveant events for this person/organization, etc. |
| ❌ | Embeddable | Provide an endpoint that can be used for embedding graphs with selected entitys and connections - could be used e.g. if you wanted to write a blog post about a certain person's connections or something. |
| ❌ | RSS-Feeds | Integrate RSS feeds from newspapers to automatically add new sources to people as news are published about them. |
