This is very cool. It looks like you used the canvas api for this, but I had expected that you'd use D3.js since its so common for data visualizations. I am curious what your thinking was there?
- pona-a 1y agoBut it's not CRUD data visualization, it's a custom animation. Why use a heavy library if the browser draws circles just fine?
- andrewrn 1y agoHonestly I don't know. I am just starting to learn these technologies. I think there's a lot of potential in combining LLM structured output with web animation technologies. One advantage of svg is that each element has a DOM node, making interactivity trivial. (but I say this not having tried mouse targetting in canvas so maybe that's not hard) Thanks for the insight.
