Tixy is amazing! I built something very similar:

https://muffinman.io/pulsar/

I wanted to create animations for my LED matrix screen, and I couldn’t find tixy anywhere. Only after I built pulsar I found it again.

Another similar project is https://sliderland.blinry.org/ which uses HTML sliders.

Fun stuff!

Anybody else reminded of the old Sony logo?

edit: much better with a negation :)

If you haven't seen dwitter yet, you really should head over to https://www.dwitter.net
This is awesome. But it needs a better renderer.

Almost every animation/image there suffers from horrible moiré because a normal browser canvas was not meant for this. Fine line art needs supersampling and high quality filtering.

You're complaining about a small subset of "dweets" there. There are thousands of great visuals there that are not "fine line art" and do not suffer from what you described. And no, I do not think it "needs a better renderer" as high quality "rendering" is not the point of dwitter.net, the point is producing amazing things in 140 characters of javascript.
