I noticed on part 1 the graph of SF vs NYC housing elevation is shown in feet, but the text to the side describes the situation in meters. It would probably be better to use the same units between them.

The same issue is found in the 2nd graph. There might be more as it continues.

Love to know what kind of tools/techniques/processes were used to generate such beautiful graph/animations....

I've dug through their minified files and from what I can tell other than dependencies they use i.e. Backbone, underscore, jQuery, bootstrap, D3, etc I believe a lot of it is custom coded. It's truly incredible.

Author here – Part 2 uses:

- React for DOM rendering

- D3 for visualization geometry

- RxJS for handling state (i.e. turning scroll position into animated properties)

- PIXI for WebGL bits (i.e. all the little circles moving around)
