It looks really cool, but it spikes my browser's (Firefox and Chromium on Ubuntu 19.04) CPU usage whenever it's active. Not even scrolling, just visible. Reite

  On a side note, I've been forced to install The Great Suspender[0] extension because so many non-active tabs will simply take over CPU usage in Chrome. When a single tab spikes my laptop's power usage from 14.9W to 35W+ there is something terribly wrong with the design.

    When a single tab spikes my laptop's power usage from 14.9W to 35W+ there is something terribly wrong with the design. The animations are using WebAssembly which runs directly on CPU and results in tons of dom updates every frame. The biggest current actual flaw in it is that it doesn't shut off or pause when it's out of frame so all js animations on that page run constantly. It's on the todo list

  Thank you very much for checking it out and providing feedback! If you mean the main site, that uses an animation library that uses WebAssembly. It's faster than plain js but does lean on cpu directly. Lots and lots of dom updates to run the animations too, which is expensive. Other pages like the test page and docs page don't have animations and probably don't tax your cpu very much. Buuut I'd be curious to hear if your system/browser disagrees on those pages too :)
