looks great. wish I could break it free from the browser though. a browser tab can't really be the backdrop to my work, and clicking into a browser tab just to view the visualization is an extra distraction -- defeating the purpose. Doesn't seem realistic, but I wish I could set this to be my desktop background without loosing the interactivity.

Hey, thank you for the feedback. I absolutely get what you're saying, a solution can be 'installing' the website as an app (you should get the prompt in the browser to do so). Plan for the future is to have both a desktop and mobile app though, which would definitely be the best solution
fwiw, I take sites like this and use chrome's option to make them stand-alone apps. (three dots -> more tools -> create shortcut -> open as window)
does anyone know if you could take a window and make it always be in the background -- the reverse of "always on top", say "always on bottom"? doesn't seem to be an option on Mac or in Gnome that I can tell but maybe there is someway to gain that functionality.
if you use chrome, you can "install" it and it will look like an application then. i do this with spotify
