Hypergraph (Beta) – Desktop App

When I first started at Liberate Science, Hypergraph was a plucky little CLI in need of a GUI. We were trying to create a proof-of-concept unlike anything else in the research space. We were in a race against time to get Hypergraph in the hands of researchers, so we could start gathering hard data about our blindspots.

We had several touchstones, when it came to the initial design of the app:

• Make it visually striking.
• Embrace a radical approach to accessibility with intense contrasts and large type.
• Create a few simple design rules that can radiate throughout the design.
