Youtaite Network

Check out the deployed website here.

Summary

This project is focused on the youtaite community, a group of Youtube content creators who often collaborate with each other. The website features a network data visualization to show how different collaborations are connected to each other through people - for example, if you are in two different collabs, those two collabs are connected through you. We hope to show the existence of different subgroups within the community, where people collaborate with each other more often than with someone outside of their subgroup. The frontend website is written in React. The data visualization is created using d3. The backend API is written in Ruby on Rails.
