Summary

Neo4j, a popular graph database, has released version 2.2.0, which includes a hidden feature that renders the Neo4j Browser in ASCII art, inspired by the CEO's demand for a text-only interface. The new feature was developed by JavaScript Ninjas Oskar Hane and Alistair Jones, who overcame the challenge of graph visualization layout to bring this unique display to the browser. The feature is now available as a CEO-only option, allowing users to view the Web Interface in pure ASCII format.
