It's so nice for me to see these 10 computational art pieces & experiments all in one place (and most of them interactive & randomizable), also in the knowledge that apart from using @vite for bundling, everything else is entirely made using https://thi.ng/umbrella packages and tooling (three of the pieces are also partially written in #Ziglang / #WASM). Unlike the video (which at 1080p is ~110MB), on the website these ten realtime evolving animations together are only a ~650KB download (i.e. ~0.55% filesize) and all of them are running fluidly even on my old iPhone 11! Thanks to using IntersectionObserver, only a single piece is active at any one time...
Another side effect from this exercise: All these projects are only a small selection from the past 3 years, but most of them haven't been updated in the last 1-2 years. There were breaking changes (esp. the Zig parts, which I still have to largely address), but most of the supposedly breaking changes in #ThingUmbrella packages were actually super easy to address. I'm only mentioning this, since it's great to sometimes be completely in a "normal" user's shoes and see how painful (or not!) some of these changes are/can be... I'm often losing a lot of time contemplating making wide-ranging (but IMHO better & needed) changes, but always also trying to consider the effects of those on other people... This anti-bitrot exercise absolutely helped me to vindicate this approach!
