what made it so special?

nice, thanks for the article. Never seen this trick before but it looks super neat.

What sort of JS library would you recommend for a similar effect to this? PixiJs, D3, Paper, P5.js, good old vanilla canvas?

It depends on what your overall goal is. GSAP is a great but I’m not sure it’s suitable for SVG as it’s been a long time since I’ve used it.

If you have access to creative tools like illustrator and after effects then perhaps Lottie.

There are other tools on my radar but I’ve never used them SVGGator

have you seen the Freya Holmer video on generative AI as a parasitic cancer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-opBifFfsMY

Also I love how the internet is "dead", yet here we are, on a website with a bunch of humans providing soooo much value that at least corners of the internet still seem very much alive.

I wish there were more sites like HN.

this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while and I'll take inspiration from the article.

Also, funny how in the blog post it says the Github will come soon and now almost a decade later there is still no Github link :)

this is super cool! Do you know how they achieve this effect?

whut?! this is unreal.

thanks for the great work :)

daaaamn!

That's the one :) Thank you so much for finding it!

+1 to this!

What great work :)

This is soooo cool! It is not the blog I was searching for but wow :) Thanks for sharing it.
