It would be fun to have it on phones. Can you make an Android app? ;-)

#13Nice animation. Something similar is JWZ's dali clock: http://www.jwz.org/xdaliclock/

#14Processing is absolutely wonderful. Be sure to check out p5.js as well [1], which has hooks into various HTML5 APIs including video and sound.

You could do it! Wrap an HTML file into a WebView Activity. The Android portion is pretty much:
public class MyWebViewActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView webView = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webView);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");
}

#16Looks awesome, but tens of seconds need to morph faster. By the time 4 is clearly formed and visible seconds read 48. While continuous motion is aesthetic, it is hard to tell time.
The 4 actually becomes its true form at 40 (read the text below the clock), so what you were seeing was not 48 but rather 38.
Yes. Perhaps hitting the optimum form at 45 would be ideal. So 4 would start becoming clearer at 40 and then start degenerating after 45.

#17Pretty Cool! I wonder if it's possible / how hard it would be to port to Pebble.

#18Excellent. It looks like it uses linear interpolation between the different glyphs, which makes it look a bit jerky. The author might want to try a sinusoidal interpolation so that velocity reaches zero at the key frames and the whole thing thus spends more time dwelling on the legible parts of the animation and looks smoother.
Or, y'know, a cubic Bezier interpolation.

#20Too bad, doesn't work without cookies/localstorage enabled.
