Make a better home page animation

[greggman]

requirements:

• not too intensive (should run on a medium powered phone)
• not too flashy (it's not meant to distract)

Is there a design for the homepage to be made?

Ok, I want to be assigned this issue

[greggman]

I wasn't planning on redesigning the homepage itself although I'm happy to hear about suggestions ... no guarantee that I'll take them 😅

Rather, I want the background animation to be more interesting. It's here: https://webgpufundamentals.org/webgpu/background.html

With these restrictions:

• It must use WebGPU
• It should not require too much power (it should run on mobile phones)
• It should not be too distracting (people want to read the table of contents)
• It should not require too much data (quick to download/start)
• It should respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query (see this) and display something static if they've set it.

You are welcome to submit a PR with a new background. I can't promise I'll use it

If I get other good submissions I might put them in a rotation.

Examples from other sites:

• https://webglfundamentals.org/webgl/background.html
• https://webgl2fundamentals.org/webgl/background.html
• https://threejsfundamentals.org/threejs/background.html
• https://twgljs.org/examples/background.html

I'm not saying any of those are any good, just linking examples. I've been told the first 3 are too distracting. Possibly I should slow them down.

Ok, will work on it
