Half on topic: what libs/etc did you use for the animations? Not immediately obvious from the source page.

(it's a topic I'm deeply familiar with so I don't have a comment on the content, it looks great on a skim!) - but I've been sketching animations for my own blog and not liked the last few libs I tried.

Thanks!



I heavily, heavily abused d3.js to build these.


Small FYI that I couldn't see them in Chrome 133.0.6943.142 on MacOS. Firefox works.


It's the complete opposite for me — there are no animations in Firefox even with uBlock Origin disabled, but Brave shows them fine.

The browser console spams this link: https://react.dev/errors/418?invariant=418

edit: looks like it's caused by a userstyles extension injecting a dark theme into the page; React doesn't like it and the page silently breaks.


Ohhh interesting! Obviously not ideal, but I guess just an extension issue?


Interesting. Running any chrome extensions that might be messing with things? Alternatively, if you can share any errors you're getting in the console lmk.


Oh, looks like it. I disabled extensions one by one til I found it was reflect.app's extension. Edit: reported on their discord.

False alarm :) Amazing work!!
