Neat idea. At first it wasn't completely obvious to me that you could click on a node to expand it. You might want to add just a little bit of text to help people out there.

Additionally, it seems that as the graph spreads to the right it disappears outside of the div and I can't find any way to click or scroll to keep following it horizontally.

This perfectly illustrates the table-hell the hackernews is designed on.

Is it because of tables, or because the HTML is not valid?

I had reported this sometime back, but was turned down: https://github.com/HackerNews/HN/issues/78

Yeah won't even open the tables for me, and wow 38.1kb.

Nice project. Very smooth. You should make a todo list app out of this. The tree layout would make it very easy to organize projects and tasks.

One thing: you should increase the minimum size of the smallest sized clickable circles. They're hard to click on to expand.

A minimum is coming. I have a friend and colleague who's hopefully going to help me make the area of the circles be proportional to the size instead of the radius. Then we'll give it a minimum.

Just take the radius to be the square root of the size and then multiply it by a suitable scaling constant.

This will ensure that the area, which is proportional to the square of the radius, remains proportional to the size.

Woah thank you. Did you make this? My only problem is that when I check off a task the loading icon stays up forever.

Make this go into the shadow DOM too.

I thought this was very meta: http://htmltree.peterbe.com/?url=htmltree.peterbe.com

Did you mean recursive?

Entered http://www.google.com, got infinite loading spinner.

Worked now http://htmltree.peterbe.com/?url=www.google.com Could have just been a dead squirrel in the pipes. All cleared.

nice, i'd prefer more to be unfolded from the get-go. maybe 3 levels

I kinda like the idea of starting gently so you can see what's going on.

smooth. Though, for some reason it couldn't parse my top-level address. Worked fine if I provided a second level URL

What was the URL so I can debug?

I checked again. It's working now.

Cool! Can't scroll right though? :(

What browser?

firefox 29 on ubuntu 14.04. Unable to scroll right when the tree expands past the windows width.
