Visualizing OpenProcessing

A social platform is defined by the interaction of its users with each other.

This interactive data visualization displays the activity of OpenProcessing.org users.

Outer and inner circles show how many Forks a user have received and given.

Hover over circles to see more of their interactions.

Users with bigger inner circles are conversationalists: They interact with others more, and they initiate conversations.

Users with bigger outer circles are influencers: They activate the interaction channels on the website.

If you select "Member Since" sorting, users are sorted clockwise by the date they join the website.

Professors mostly interact with their students, who join the website following their professors. Show me

Whereas students are highly involved with each other. Show me

Regular users comment all-around, but less on the sketches of students. Show me

During September, when classes start, students take over the website, however, their activity is limited to commenting and tweaking. This is more visible when played through time. Play

Regular users are more active on following other users and favoriting sketches. Show me
