I created a fun tool which you can use to discover new artists starting from a root artist and clicking nodes to expand similar artists. You can also hover over the nodes to preview the artist's top songs. Fully web based, no sign up required.
The data is from the Apple Music API. Originally I was using the Spotify API, but certain endpoints were deprecated which broke my original implementation.
Open to any critique or ideas. Thanks!

I've had this EXACT idea for the last few months and was going to build this.
The zeitgeist is so strange. Really happy to have caught this post by chance.
Awesome work! I've wanted something like this for a long time.

The only difference in my idea was to be user-curated. So a user would enter a list of artists they like, and viewing an artist would show you the network of everyone's list who included that artist.
