This is wonderful. I'm rather new to LW/OB and I've been reading through chains of posts.
I was about to start working on something just like this to help myself and other new readers.
Thank you.
What I like is that I can look at the list of referenced previous posts, and see which posts I should read.
Did you construct these automatically, or by hand?
Automatically, If I did it by hand, it would have looked nicer. I'm working on this project again, so I hope to have some much more user friendly things coded soon. Ill make what you mentioned as well.
I just meant that I can look at the list of Eliezer posts, and see which ones he referred to a lot, and read them.
Only, now I see I can't easily do that. I misunderstood the list. I thought it was strange that each post referenced one other post. Actually, I don't understand this at all. Can you explain how to interpret the index?
I see quite a few with multiple outgoing links. Node 443, for instance has 5 outgoing links.
I have created a list of Overcoming Bias posts for Robin Hanson available here. Additionally, using the links inside each posts, I have created a set of graphs (available here) such that if post A has a link to post B, then there is an arc from B to A. Enjoy! (There are also ones for Eliezer here).
