Show HN: Every meeting from first 8 years of scaling up [video]
youtube.comI had so much fun with this. Shows the change from early days of building Sanity.io through to growth (and the pretty intense 2020-2021 period).
Calendar data processed in Python (filtering >3h events and Reclaim entries), then animated with Geometry Nodes in Blender. The 2K animation was rendered in Cycles on runpod.io (12 RTX 4090s for 48hrs). Colors indicate meeting types - blue for 1:1s, block size/saturation scaling with attendee count. Soundtrack driven by MIDI from exported from Python to Ableton Live. Really like the sound design! What's the mapping? Frequency of meetings per day to pitch? I never got around to really dialing this in - currently note and velocity are both mapped to intensity and notes are mapped through to a sampler. I taught myself Ableton for this as well as Blender so didn't get around to playing much with this.
