What HN said
What people liked
Clean hexagon design and simple integration.
From 3 comments
I had a customer ask for something similar a while back and ended up building something pretty close to this with Redis. I like your design more with the hexagons.
leesalminen on HNNice work. I appreciate the relative simplicity of the integration & look forward to using this soon. Edit: Why the downvote?
friendofafriend on HNWell, the server-side part of it needs to run somewhere. Looks pretty good to me, very straightforward.

Objections
High CPU usage from the animated SVG in browsers.
From 2 comments
The CPU usage sky rockets when showing the world SVG in my Chromium browser. Is there any trick to make the animated SVG be less CPU intensive?
eerimoq on HNLooks very cool and I appreciate the refs to previous work, very interesting. On my Mabook Pro 2019 the github page immediately takes a lot of cpu time. In whatever browser I am…

Depends on a Vercel account for a simple stack.

It's cool but why the dependency on Vercel account for what is basically js/redis/svg?

Is this a live-streaming (forever-loading) SVG? Neato!
