I like the idea of coupling sound to the page/slide. Would be even better if the audio was generated so that the transition was seamless. To whom it may be of interest: https://impress.js.org (visually similar to this project, with 3D) http://2011.beercamp.com (depth? scrolling) http://lissajousjs.com/ (A tool for programmatic audio performance in the browser using Javascript, demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB…

Can't believe I have never seen Impress JS. I basically reverse engineered this jquery plugin to make this site: http://jaukia.github.io/zoomooz/ and now I feel like impress would have been the better choice. It seems to work almost the same too.

Lissajousjs is wild. I was actually working on a GUI for making endless music next but in a completely different direction than this.

Your links suggest some better ways around syncing sound and timing to browsers than my hacky timers. Will definitely look into this for a revamp. Thanks marci!

I ran a webcomic back in the 2000s while I was in college. I have wanted to revisit it with my current material (three young kids) but wanted to give the whole thing a facelift first. This might be my catalyst to do so, thanks!

Would be curious to see what you make - feel free to email me directly (also can fix any annoying bugs you encounter). My email is in my profile.
