Well executed side project with a great name! :) Where do you get the data from?

Very 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)

It's super smooth on Chrome, but it's doing (say) 1 frame per second on Firefox.

Worth checking that Firefox is (also) using the GPU correctly.

It's mentioned in the 'about' page (click the 'i' link) - https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=32647603&goto=item%3Fi...

> Schedules are extracted from the GTFS data of the VBB (loaded on Fri, 26 Aug 2022 13:11:26 GMT) which contains arrival time and departure time of every hour of every day. The movement of the train is simulated at constant speed between stations.
