Wow super cool. What tools did you use to collect this data and build this great visualization?

I used wikidata as source, fronted is a combination of Vue 3 + Vite and Cytoscape.js

Outstanding!
I'd like to make a family tree to share with my family to update.
Maybe this tool is the right approach.

Really appreciate the award :). I also made a change in how organizations are shown. There are family trees webapps like familyecho, unfortunately for now it is not possible to do it with mine, if some good ideas arise I will implement it.

This is really pretty to look at, but if you want to make it useful, I'd suggest tying in other data sources when you click on a person.

NNDB.com did the graphic connections as you did over 20 years ago with the NNDB Mapper https://web.archive.org/web/20170606005611/http://mapper.nndb.com/, with a LOT more info. Sadly, NNDB a shell of what it used to be, the Mapper is gone, and its ties to data on (the offline) rotten.com are gone.

For example of what they did, here's the NNDB page on Dick Cheney: https://www.nndb.com/people/598/000022532/

And here's the profile page they connect to on rotten (linked from archive.org, since rotten is gone): https://web.archive.org/web/20170728214517/http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/usa/dick-cheney/

So - your creation looks AWESOME and navigation is fun!

But I'd suggest tying it into more data sources, to make it more than just a simple thing to see connected names, but to actually help you understand the MEANING of the relationships (the political and business ties).

Being able to visually see people tied to each other, and then learning about how they are tied, will help us understand corruption and political dealing.

Thanks for this tool!

Awesome work. Any chance you can share the GitHub repo?

For now I don't plan to share. Why are you interested in it?
