Cool stuff!

I still always want to know the numbers per edge. Because there'a a reaon why these graph DBs try to hold the stuff in memory, everything else is slow as heck. We have ~30bytes per edge in our succinct indexes, which makes the 1.5gb wiki dataset clock in at ~50gb.

If I understand correctly you shard the graph and then content adress each chunk:

- How do you decide on the sharding? I'd expect finding good connected subsets with nice memory locality to be extremely difficult computationally?

- How do you canonicalise your graph. Which has also been an extremely difficult problem in RDF land for example. Although that one is at least efficiently solvable.

One recommendation: do not let the LLM write your README for you. It can write other docs (though IME they still suck at it), but your README needs to be focused and easily digestible by a human glancing at the project.

LLMs have no concept of focus when it comes to docs, so they spew out way more information than is necessary or helpful to a human reading the document.

Ha - ok understood, although in my specific case I think this is better than anything I would have written. I edited it pretty hard to get it to say what I wanted it to say, so not sure if that counts. Thanks anyway for the feedback.

This is one of the cases where I think people really want a personal touch. Your README is the "hook" of a project, it's the first thing we see, and so you want to advertise "this thing was made with thought and care". Also the README does not need to be exhaustive, it should be a form of advertising and you can nest the lower level documentation in a /docs and link the sections from the README.

Big weakness of Neo4j, etc...?

Since it is a much in demand feature. Why do you think they have not done it themselves already, versus what you have done?

Curious if this is breakthrough? Or there are some negatives that prevent Neo4J from doing it also?

I've wanted to analyze all published scientific papers and authors and their citation relationships in Neo4j but hit resource limits so this is very interesting to me.
