Yes, canvas is faster and I think d3 now supports canvas too, right? d3 will give you a lot more support for data manipulations, but (if I may say so) creating highly customized visualizations can be easier in Pts. I think it should be poss

Thank you! It started as a somewhat speculative personal project so I'm really grateful to hear that it resonates with you and others. I'm building another library on top of this -- it's moving at a very slow pace so hopefull

Thank you so much. I would love to see the visualizer you made! Really glad to hear the docs are working as intended too.

It's difficult to compare. I love processing/p5 and it's very easy to learn and has a vibrant community and lots of add-ons. It's also a great education tool. Pts is a more opinionated library because one of my personal

Thanks! The scrolling seems like a bug that was related to recent changes. I opened an issue here: https://github.com/williamngan/pts/issues/140

Hi HN, Pts is one of my late-night personal projects :) Thanks for posting. Happy to answer any questions.

TikTok left Hong Kong because HK is a tiny market, and they wouldn't want the PR backblash if they had to share HK data with CCP. There's evidence that Bytedance is not independent of CCP interferences though - such as the CEO&#x2

In 2018, Bytedance CEO released a public statement after an incident with the CCP censor. In that statement, he promised that Bytedance apps would strengthen "the work of Party construction" and "socialist core values" e

My favorite quote from Klee: "Art does not reproduce the visible but makes visible." His shorter Pedagogical Sketchbook is also worth a read.

Reminds me of that W. B. Yeats poem that also seems relevant for the world we're heading towards: --- When Loie Fuller’s Chinese dancers enwound A shining web, a floating ribbon of cloth, It seemed that a dragon of air Had fallen among

I would also recommend Borges' Norton Lectures. It provides a lot of unique insights about his creative process. https://www.amazon.com/Craft-Verse-Charles-Norton-Lectures/d...

There's no need to learn typescript. You can use it like a good old js library by including it in script tag. But you're right that perhaps the messaging should be clearer.

pts-starter-kit comes with an example demo (in index.html). Does that work for you? Please file an issue and we will figure out from there. Thanks for trying it out!

Yes! It first started as Pt (in coffeescript) a few years ago, and it's an experimental project to explore "a single point". Last year I started rewriting everything from scratch, and focus more on sets of points and how func

You're right. Sorry I misunderstood.

Thank you! I hope this may nudge you a bit to bring your lab experiments back :) p5 is great too so I would recommend giving it a try also.

Not required. You can just include the pts.js or pts.min.js in script tag. https://unpkg.com/pts@0.5.0/dist/pts.js

Thank you! Yes, I want to make sure the lib is lightweight and easy to use for beginners -- just include a script and ready to go. There's of course a babel-ES6-TS-something for experts too :)

The same AI tech developed for "search and rescue" can be easily re-purposed for "search and destroy". How would Google prevent that from happening?
