R — Link Explorer |verified|
Unlock the Power of Your Data with R Link Explorer
tidyverse: For cleaning and organizing the raw CSV data.igraph: The engine that calculates the network mathematics (clusters, distances, degrees).visNetwork: The library that creates the interactive HTML widget (the actual visual explorer).Shiny: (Optional) For wrapping the visualization in a user-friendly web application.
Technical approach
- Use parsers: roxygen2, pkgload, xml2, commonmark, and custom regex for extracting references.
- Build graph using igraph or tidygraph; visualize with visNetwork, ggraph, or a JavaScript frontend (D3, Cytoscape.js).
- Use parallel crawling with error handling, rate limiting, and link canonicalization.
- Leverage git for timeline diffs and to locate source of changes.
- Provide R package (rlinkexplorer) with functions: crawl_project(), build_graph(), analyze_graph(), visualize_graph(), check_links(), report_html().
- Filter by "Lost": Toggle to "Lost only" to see who removed you.
- Filter by "Nofollow": Identify how many links have the
rel="nofollow"tag. A healthy profile has 30-50% nofollow. - Filter by "Follow": These are the "link juice" passing links. Prioritize these.
