I find tech like this so impressive, because back when I used to code for a living, web browsers were slow, clunky and woefully underpowered.

Is the core app just using a canvas/svg? Did you have to build your own UI toolkit on top of it? Any open source libraries / similar projects I can read to learn more?

Thanks

Thanks! Yeah it’s exactly that - pure js and canvas element for custom drawing. No UI frameworks. It’s all custom so there’s no open source reference, but I plan to release some open source stuff.

Thanks for the overview. I’m looking forward to it, and best of luck with your project!

Amazing feat! Let mw know if you open source it, I'd love to contribute!

This is dope! I'd love to see any part of this open sourced. I've been wanting to try to build something just like this.
