I was finally happy with my mySQL setup for my project.

Then I found out neo4j exists...

dammit.

    @linuxxx well I'm hardly an expert, but here's my 2 cents. It's graph based, and what they say (and I definitely agree with) is that it allows you to represent data much more naturally, and get better insights. For example, before I had to have a separate table for my users that used the telegram interface, with their username, and telegram chat id. To find out if a user used telegram, I had to check the username and check if it was in the telegram table. Now the user node just has a relationship with the telegram node, and the relationship itself contains information about their telegram profile. Super cool.

    @linuxxx No problem! I just realized that explanation was pretty long winded, sorry. tl;dr it's a graph instead of a table.
