Beautiful. How do you build something like this? Coding language? Stack? Dev environment?

Yes, all of those don't really matter. You just fire up whatever and start building the damn thing.

well in this case I think it does.. Animating this many DOM elements in a performant way would be really hard. Looks like the webapp is rendered in a <canvas/> element. I think its a better discussion than 'which js framework should I use?'

Thanks for your interest. Performance has been har to get good enough. Basically it is a javascript app on a canvas. Thats why it can be integrated on the landing page.

You seem to have accidentally invented a really slick UI library for canvas. I have been working off and on on something like that for the last 3 years, but yours is actually factually working. I really hope you publish it.

Interesting. Do you repaint the entire canvas on every update?
