This is a very cool intro to graph theory. These interactive applications really make the concepts come to life. It would be some what challenging, but adding graph algorithms like shortest paths and minimal spanning trees could be a lot of fun. Good job!
I'm just curious, but your comment suggests to me that it is easy to switch from an academic program to working at google, amazon, facebook, or microsoft. Those jobs require training and experience that academia does not provide. Writing javascript and researching, as an example, topology are very different things. I also have a hard time believing that research at a corporation is effectively academia just because they share a competitive environment. Could you explain further?
