omg, THIS is the solution to word wrapping being so noisy! xitter.gq/vkrajacic/status/16862…
One UI animation trick I employed in #DiskVoyager: clamping the distance for items traveling long distances. This reduces the noise while maintaining direction. It's easier on the eye but users still perceive it similarly. Animation feedback can truly enhance large layout shifts.

implemented clamping like disk voyager does. such a huge improvement when letters wrap around!

i love digging into the source code for some of these and finding extra features! in nullprogram.com/voronoi-toy/, pressing "a" animates everything!

the physics feel good. the camera zoom depends on your speed. next up would be making some kind of level editor so i can actually make levels. that seems hard. may or may not come back to this project.
