This is a visualization I've always wanted but never quite found. It's a navigable map of Wikipedia, with search and shortest-path finding. I extracted 221 million links from the 24.5 GB compressed May 2026 English Wikipedia dump. On this directed graph, I ran cuGraph's ForceAtlas2, PageRank, and Leiden clustering algorithms to find page nodes' position, size, and color. I rendered 12 zoom levels of 1024 pixel square raster tiles using Skia and matching JSON metadata tiles with page names, statistics, links, etc. Tiles were packed into the awesome PMTiles format. The frontend is React + deck.gl. Search and shortest-path finding are driven from a Rust axum backend. Search uses Tantivy over articles' titles and their redirects + PageRank. Shortest-path finding is a bidirectional BFS. Everything is hosted on Cloudflare. Tiles are stored on R2 with a worker in front for caching. Search and shortest-path finding are served through that same worker and backed by Cloudflare Containers. Happy to answer any questions!
