idk how it would best make sense to either collect or visualize this data, hoping to attract some people with actual expertise to do this project (possibly with crowdfunding?), but i'm thinking a website where people input their "parent(s)" and the graph is dynamically visualized

also maybe people could add a little text snippet of how the story of how their "parent" got them onto twitter / tpot went down and it could pop up if you click on the edge linking them to their parent? that could be real cute

My path here was meandering, perhaps strange, but I have a feeling not so unlike how a lot of us found this digital paradise.
