Would be nice if I could actually see it. I cannot zoom in, zoom out or do anything with it.

It’s here: https://ianmiell.github.io/sw-job-title-family-tree/

That's probably the one they found not working if they are mobile (or, at least, that's where I got stuck).

The magic incantation I found was to use the PNG version https://ianmiell.github.io/sw-job-title-family-tree/job_titl... since tbat just lets the browser handle it without any "smarts".

The main version wouldn't let me zoom in, the libked version would only let me pan, and the svg version wouldn't let me zoom out.

There is a different incantation: when viewing the main version on mobile you can zoom in by choosing a category (eg “development”). And you can zoom out by pressing “all”.

agree, the ui to navigate this data is very uncomfortable, I guess we're gonna need a front-end developer here to fix it. :)

There's a link to the SVG version of it that you can navigate using your browser's normal interface controls.

On mobile you can pinch zoom on the png file: https://ianmiell.github.io/sw-job-title-family-tree/job_titl...
