Even though the article is mostly talking about visualizations, but I thought I'd share that I did at one point build a dance choreography software that renders the UI entirely SVG. I was surprised as to how well that worked.

If you're curious, it's called StageKeep, and you can find it here. https://stagekeep.com/

The original project used React Three Fiber, but refactored it to SVG for reasons I don't quite remember. I was inspired by signed distance functions, and the fact that one function could have such an outsized visual effect. Although the software doesn't use SDFs, but I like the idea of atomic functions that accepts some input, and outputs SVG.

Wow, that is really cool. As a stage director I touch on choreography a bit. It would be really cool to pre-plan blocking with something like that.

Very cool. Are you a dancer yourself?
