a cleverer person could maybe figure out how to put it in TW!

Absolutely amazing!

Yes it is amazing-- giving me ideas... (though unfortunately I don't know js macros well enough to implement that script running it)

Absolutely stunning!

Suggestion: make the hour ring stand out in some way and make the marks between the hours a bit thicker. This makes it easier to use the Concentrichon as an analog clock.

Greetings,

Hi,

A very interesting concept. It uses an SVG and just a little bit of JS to rotate it. ... I think it would be a nice experiment with "variable fonts with SVG"

The tweets are also interesting, they described, how it was created. ... I think one couldn't make it much more complicated to get the SVG.

I personally would invert the order, remove the "seconds" ring and change the update speed. ... ON my screen, in fullscreen mode, the seconds are a bit jumpy. .. So IMO the SVG should be simplified too, to increase performance.

Updating the hour up to Year elements in an 32ms interval is a complete waste of time. IMO the hour is fine with 1 min update, day related can be updated per hour and the rest can be calculated once a day, or if the element is initialized.

With TW we would also have the possibility to dynamically create the SVG, so it could display all sorts of additional things. eg: upcoming events as part of the hour ring. ... and so on.

just some brainstorming

have fun!

That somebody put this together makes me so happy! (Though it's slightly disturbing that the year ring does not render as a spiral, and has no visual stopper between 2029 and 2020. Small stuff.)
