The list of why I should switch to Positron keeps getting longer.
Have you seen our Olympic medal count visualization?
BTW: To generate the Olympic medal scarfs, we render it on HTML canvas. A powerful drawing technology, but inherently non-interactive. We wanted the medals to be clickable. So: How do you render an interactive canvas?
