Creator here, also keen to know if anyone has suggestions. The r2d3 one was (obviously) a huge inspiration, it's such a nice way to learn things.

I can't seem to find it now, but either the NY Times or the Washington Post built something similar, for the 2018 US house/senate races. Lots of graphs as you scroll, with scroll-based events, IIRC.

EDIT: ah, how could I forget Nicky Case's explorabl.es! Was a huge inspiration for me as well.



Mike Bostock is the creator of d3.js and does, or did, a bunch of visualizations for NY Times. Check his website, it's amazing.

Nice work!

I have a suggestion about the chord:

With a single chord like this I think it sounds better to tune it with "just intonation". For a major chord it is [ f * 1, f * 1.25, f * 1.5 ]. With these frequencies the chord will not wobble.


Thanks for the feedback; I saw this further down the comments as well. Will give it a shot!

EDIT: Yep, sounds way better. Will definitely have to look more into this! Thanks again.


A little wobble can be nice though. When I write synthesizer patches, I almost always detune the oscillators a few cents.


On a synth in a musical piece, absolutely.

But in a technical piece like this, I prefer if it isn't.


there's the https://pudding.cool site that kind of does this stuff?
