Cinematic 3D knowledge graph for React, data as glowing constellations. MIT.

What it is

Cortex Map is an open-source 3D knowledge graph component for React, built on three.js. You bring your own nodes and edges. Clusters get their own sectors, the important nodes rise up as light pillars, and the strong connections arc across the map as particle trails.

Who it's for

React developers who want a knowledge graph people actually want to look at, not another hairball of grey dots.

How it works

  1. Bring your data. Pass nodes, edges and cluster definitions in as props.
  2. It lays itself out. Each cluster takes a sector, and weight decides which nodes tower.
  3. Explore. Click a node to open the inspector and watch its connections reach out. Search with ⌘K.
  4. Theme it. The colours, the clusters and the whole look are yours to change.

FAQ

Is there a 3D knowledge graph component for React?

Yes, Cortex Map is one. It's an MIT-licensed React component built on three.js that renders your nodes and edges as a themeable 3D scene, with an inspector and ⌘K search.

Is Cortex Map free to use?

Yes, Cortex Map is free to use. It's open source under the MIT licence, and the code is on GitHub.

Where did Cortex Map come from?

Cortex Map was built to visualise the memory of Jarvis, my AI assistant. I then extracted it and released it as a standalone component.
