What is a Communal Neural Network?


The goal of this project is to help restore human recommendation online.

Void of algorithms, AI, or monetary incentives, users are welcome to share interests and connect with others through this website.

Using a node-based interface, users can create expansive visual maps of their connected interests—all in real-time.


What are your interests, and how can they correlate with others?


How to Use:

1. Adding Nodes:
Type an interest in the input field and click "Send" or press Enter.

(e.g. Where the Wild Things Are, Demon Days by Gorillaz, Mario Kart 8)

Tagging: Above the text box, you can select a tag to categorize your input. You can also press the "+" button to browse or add new tags.

Description: Adding a description is optional, but in case you want to provide more context or details about your input, put them in the textbox to the right of the interest textbox.

Prompts: Can't think of something to add to the Network?
Press the button to generate a prompt for inspiration!

2. Creating Synapses:
Drag from the black dot on any node to another node to connect them with a synapse.

Node Info: Click on any node to see its info and synapses.

3. Navigation:
Click and drag the background to pan. Use the mini-map for orientation and quick navigation.

Random Viewport: Press the button to teleport your viewport to a random location.

Node Jumping: In the bottom right of the mini-map, you can enter a Node ID (unique ID found underneath all nodes) to quickly jump to a specific node.

4. Info Panel:
This appears when you click on a node. It will provide information about the node's tag and synapses.

Highlight Filtering: Clicking the tag button within the info panel will highlight all nodes with the same tag.

Synapse Cycling: Pressing the left and right arrow keys will cycle through the synapses of the last clicked node.

5. Toolbar:
Located on the lefthand side of the window with several buttons.

Delete Synapse: Allows you to delete synapse lines between nodes. It can be toggled ON/OFF.

Delete Node: Allows you to delete nodes. It can be toggled ON/OFF. (This action cannot be undone.)

6. Help:
