A fun idea. I've been playing with all sorts of ideas for static websites and trying to figure out ways to make them feel more "live".

I was wondering about the heartbeat updates and replaying the data in "real-time" the next day is a really nice touch and allows a single deployment a day.

Thanks! Curious what other ways to make them feel more "live" you've thought of already.

The 24h replay started as a constraint and turned into the design. Anything closer to live means a server holding a websocket open and my watch draining its battery to feed it. My homepage is markdown and a GitHub Action, and I wanted to keep it that way.
