The Star Map

Every page on this site is a star in a galaxy you can fly through. Where a page sits is not decoration — it is how much of the site links to it.

Every page on this site is a star. Every link between two pages is a line between two stars. The bright core is what the rest of the site keeps pointing back at; the dark rim is what nothing points at yet. Click the view and fly.

How to read it

Distance from the core — how much of the site links to a page. The most-referenced pages sit in the bright middle; pages nothing points at yet drift to the rim.INBOUND
Which arm — its section. Five spiral arms, one per section, because pages within a section link to each other more than across.SECTION
Size — also inbound links, so the core reads bright at any distance.SIZE
Lines — a link inside the body of an article. Navigation, footers and read-next blocks are excluded, so what you see is editorial connection rather than site furniture.LINKS
Position — computed once from the link structure, then fixed. It is the same galaxy every visit, so a page's place in it means something.STABLE
WHAT THE SHAPE SHOWS

Two things are visible here that a list cannot show.

Which pages hold the site together. The corrections log is the most-linked page on the site — not an article, but the record of what this site got wrong. That is either the best thing about it or the most damning, and the map makes the position literal.

Where the sections actually touch. Craft and record are separate bodies of work, and the lines between them are the places where technique meets measurement.

What sits on the rim. The outermost stars have nothing pointing at them from inside an article — the list below marks each of them with a dash instead of a count. Most are section hubs, which are reached from the navigation bar rather than from prose — that is normal. The rest are genuinely unconnected: written, published, and never referred back to. Both kinds look identical out there, which is the uncomfortable part.

Two pages are deliberately excluded as link sources: this one and the index. Both list almost the whole site, and counting their links added 305 edges of pure furniture and gave every page on the site an inbound link — which would have erased the rim entirely.

Every page, as a list

Every page above, in plain HTML, grouped by section and ordered by how much of the site links to each one. The number beside a page is how many other pages point at it. This list is generated from the identical data the map draws, so the two cannot disagree — and a stale count here would be caught before it could ship. If the view above never loads, nothing is lost but the picture.

It also drives the map. Hovering a title here lights that star and every link into and out of it; clicking one flies you to it. Finding a specific page among 159 unlabelled points is much easier by name than by eye.

What this is not

It is decoration over a working page. The index below is complete HTML — every page, every title, every link. The map is drawn on a canvas on top of it, and a canvas contains no text: nothing in it is readable by a search engine or a screen reader. That is the whole reason the list stays.

It does not load on phones, where it would cost battery to render something too dense to read on a small screen. It respects reduced-motion: nothing drifts on its own, and choosing a page puts you there instead of flying you there. And it is 44 KB uncompressed — 25 KB of renderer and 19 KB of graph, about 17 KB over the wire — with no 3D library at all. The article on 3D websites explains why that number matters more than how it looks.
