UPDATE: I've added a quick demo page for mobile at https://nodes.bio/mobile/ .
The mobile page now showcases three major network visualizations:
TBI Nasal Spray Mechanism - Shows molecular pathways and drug delivery mechanisms for traumatic brain injury treatment.
Biological Network Introduction - Demonstrates protein-protein interactions, signaling pathways, and cellular communication systems.
Innovation Pipeline Network - Visualizes the research-to-commercialization pipeline, mapping connections from scientific discoveries to market applications.
The full interactive experience is available on desktop for advanced features and larger networks.
Thanks everyone for the feedback about adding compelling demo screenshots - this gives mobile visitors a clear sense of what the tool can visualize across different biological domains.
Reading the threads, it sounds like mobile is a WIP. you should consider adding screenshots of a compelling demo use case to the mobile landing page in the interim.
Update on the 502s- looks like it was a memory issue during an overnight deployment. I'm working on getting a proper staging environment running. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I wanted to share why I built this - it's deeply personal. In 2020, my mother was diagnosed with glioblastoma. As I navigated her treatment, I found myself completely overwhelmed by the complexity of biological networks. The medical literature was fragmented across hundreds of papers, and I struggled to see how her specific genetic markers related to potential treatments.
The website has a little card that says "Interactive Mobile Experience" but your post says "mobile-friendly version coming later," which is confusing. I tried it, and it doesn't seem to work on mobile at all (Chrome/Android)
