  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?

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

  Looks 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 using the cpu cooling kicks in strongly. Also, on Safari the looks are not as good as in Firefox or Chrome.

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

  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.

  Nice work. I appreciate the relative simplicity of the integration & look forward to using this soon.

  Edit: Why the downvote?
