I've bookmarked this to check out on the desktop later because it looks like it could be exactly what I've been looking for for a while. But being on a laptop right now I have to say it is a very frustrating experience as there appears to be no way to scroll/move the canvas so that you can see all the blocks.

  Yeah, I feel the same: this looks really impressive and I would love to explore it, but it basically freezes any browser I throw at it. My laptop is a few years old but it's still quite a beefy one so that really shouldn't happen. I get the impression it's trying to load the whole thing with all examples at once. Maybe it would make sense to refactor the various sketches into smaller ones so it doesn't try to load, run and render everything at the same time? That or introduce more lazy-loading features.

Drops you right in a starts auto-playing Youtube videos and hijacks your browser history so you can't back out of the noise. Quite rude.

The site itself just drops you straight into the tool, which can be quite confusing (beside being mobile-unfriendly). Here's a short youtube showcase that gets straight to the point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE-vOSY-ULc&t=158s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE-vOSY-ULc&t=158s

  After watching the video I must admint interface looks super good. It's purpose is to create sql pipelines (in demo on top of clickhouse) and visualize results.

How to switch to light theme? The font is almost unreadable if you are reading under sunlight.

  PS. I closed the curtains and start wathing the video... It looks really impressive!

I want to like this (I build www.jigdev.com which shares a lot with this) but for the love of god, how do I zoom in??!

  Pinch zoom and two finger scrolling worked for me on Mac. Presumably mouse wheel on a mouse, perhaps combined with shift/ctrl/option/command for horizontal zooming. Holding space is often used for panning (thanks Photoshop), so give that a try too.
