It's super smooth on Chrome, but it's doing (say) 1 frame per second on Firefox.
Same for me (FF103.0.2 on Ubuntu 22.04)

The link I posted was https://ubahnchen.vercel.app but, because there is a redirection, HackerNews changed it automatically.
You can also memorize ubaehnchen.vercel.app

#15Very nice. Given the smoothness, I first thought this was real-time:) As someone who lives in Berlin, I didn't know there was an open API for the VBB. I'll have to have a look at it. And loving the Minimetro vibes! (Running this on android 10 on a OnePlus 7pro - runs smooth in Chrome)
Agreed on the minimetro feel!
I thought it was live too, I wonder if there's a way to do that? I like that you can see both the s and u bahn, though I kind of wish the abstract map would carry over.

#16I really like it! Well done!
- As others have mentioned, it seems dodgy on Firefox. The button to switch between U-Bahn and S+U mode doesn't seem to work at all on Safari (?)
- Completely unreasonable request, but it would be cool if it were to show the current engineering works - i.e. the U1 not running, and the temporary U12 taking over the western U2 and U1
If anyone else is a urban railways geek, then may I introduce you to CartoMetro - https://cartometro.com/ - an amazingly detailed map of various (mostly French) urban rail systems (although sadly lacking Berlin!)

Same for me, even I set "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" to true. Chrome and Chromium are smooth.
EDIT: Turning "High Resolution" (in the settings of the webpage on top right) off and on seems to fix the issue somehow? It's smooth now, but reloading takes it back to choppy.

Try clicking on the S+U on the right. In Chrome it’s super smooth on the U view, but somehow when you switch to the S+U one it’s very laggy.

xn-- domains are fallback Unicode compatibility domains for systems that don't support it. It's mainly seen in Asia. So it's not the intended representation of the domain name, that's ubähnchen.vercel.app
I think ubähnchen means little U-bahn.
It's interesting to see Germans are still very strict with their letter accents even in domain names. I'm from the Netherlands myself and because we mainly use US keyboards (there is a NL type but nobody uses it), accents are a PITA to type so people started leaving them out. These days they're almost extinct, as is the ligature for "ij". We're pretty pragmatic like that. Personally I wouldn't even care if we phase Dutch out for English, it's just much more useful on a global scale. But that's probably a step too far for most.
