Summary

Graph Gopher is a tool that allows users to interact with their Neo4j graphs through easy browsing and quick entry for new nodes and relationships. It provides a full Cypher client at your fingertips, enabling fast editing of existing data. The application was created by exploring different ways to browse Neo4j graphs and was initially inspired by the classic navigation interface used in Gopher, the navigation paradigm used to explore the internet before web browsers. Graph Gopher is built using Swift, an open-source language used for iOS apps, and supports Bolt, a protocol used by Neo4j. The application aims to be faster than loading up the Neo4j browser and can be accessed on various devices, including mobile devices, where it provides features such as multi-device support, session configuration transfer between devices, and connectivity over flaky network connections. The future of Graph Gopher will be driven by user feedback, with new features and updates to be added based on user needs and use cases.
