Could you build this?
Partial The UI and route tracking are simple, but reconstructing and pathfinding multi-hop social graphs across millions of users on X is heavily blocked by strict API rate limits and paywalls.
What it would actually take: Building NepoNet requires computing shortest paths (e.g., bidirectional BFS) over a large follower/following directed graph. Because X's official API strictly rate-limits and monetizes graph endpoints, acquiring the follow-graph data requires either expensive enterprise API tier access or large-scale scraping infrastructure with proxy rotation and graph database storage (Neo4j, Memgraph, or AWS Neptune) indexed for fast multi-degree traversal.
