Hi @Tumb1eweed,

Thanks for the feedback. We have now a tab that shows the dependencies of a reference, see https://conan.io/center/recipes/jinja2cpp for example. It is not exactly the same but it is quite useful.

Could you please describe a bit why you miss that information? Why did you find it useful?

That could help us understand the value of that information for conan center users. Thanks!

Previously conan.io can see like package A depends on package b,c,d and so on, and package A used by package e,f,g and so on.

Because it's very important, when some package compile fail, I can still check if I need this package by check which package need it, and use with_xxx=False to abandon this dependency.

Why not conan graph info .. --format=html and navigate visually the dependency graph? this approach is the recommended one because it is even faster than going than going to the web, it display the whole graph, not only the immediate dependents, and it also works with other private repos.
