+Shortly after working on my [Steam Friends Graph](https://jrtechs.net/projects/steam-friends-graph)
+,I had the idea of extending the project to include the GitHub network.
+I used [BrickHack V](https://brickhack.io/) as the opportunity to work on this project with my friends.
+Rather than simply use the code that was used in the Steam friends graph, the architecture was completely
+revamped to reflect both the differences between the Steam and GitHub networks and my improved web development skills.
+
+# Project Overview
+
+We created an interactive website which allows you to make graphs based on the Github network. 
+Currently the site generates three types of graphs-- the most popular and entertaining of which is the friends graph. 
+The friends graph helps you visualize clusters of friends/collaborators on GitHub.
+Similar to the Steam Friends Project, I hope that this project will make people more interested in learning about big data.
+The visual aspect of this website makes learning about topics such as clustering and graph databases more intuitive.
+
+
+## Friends View

+
+The friends view displays all of the people which you following and your followers.
+This also connects connects everyone in the graph which are following each other.

+## Technologies Used
+
+- [BootStrap](https://getbootstrap.com/)
+- [jQuery](https://jquery.com/)
+- [Vis JS](http://visjs.org/)
+- [Github v3 API](https://developer.github.com/v3/) 
+- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) 
+
+# Changes From the Steam Graph Project
+
+The one stark difference between the Steam network and GitHub is the amount of friends that people have.
+Most developers on GitHub typically only follows around 20 people where it is not uncommon for people on Steam to have well over 100 friends.
+Due to the smaller graphs, I was able to use VisJS which has nicer animations and supports custom HTML for each node.

+
+Another big change to the architecture was the way in which graphs are sent to the client.
+The server generated the graph and then sent the nodes and edges to the client over a web socket for the steam graph.
+In this project, the client builds the graph and queries the server using ajax for the necessary information.
+This gives the client a more dynamic loading progress and makes hosting the application much easier. 
+
+# Future Work
+
+Since this project was initially created during a hackathon, there is a **lot** of work to be done.
+I will outline a few ideas which I have.
+
+- Improved Caching and Performance
+- Friends of Friends -- similar to Steam's graph
+- Graphs Linking Users and Repositories Based on Activity
+- Code Metrics
+
+# Contributing
+
+If you want to contribute to this project and don't know where to start, look at the open issues on [GitHub](https://github.com/jrtechs/github-graphs).
+Once you know what you want to work on, just discuss it in the issues and file a pull request.
+I are very open to new contributes.
