As a recovering Audiophile, I'm gonna stay away from r/audiophile lest they temp me to sell my kidney to afford that extra 5% in "acoustic fidelity." Seriously, I'm happy with the 95%.
Now, how do I go about putting together that sound system? Or in Audiophile terms, what is the DT 770 Pro of home stereo setups?

At Theatre.js [0] we are enabling artists and engineers to create intricate interactive experiences. We are also empowering people to craft their own creative environments. Our mission is to blur the line between designer and developer, author and consumer, artist and scientist.
Our mission is inspired by the work of Ivan Sutherland, Seymour Papert, Bret Victor, and others.
We recently announced $4.5M in seed funding [1] and have two spots left on the core team.
Your main job as a full-stack engineer is to implement the multiplayer collaboration infrastructure. Think real-time editing like Google Docs, and branching/merging like Git (without conflicts), and component-level versioning like SelfLang. This is a big challenge in terms of performance and ergonomics, and we're pretty sure it hasn't been tried before.
If you're up for the challenge, write us a cover letter at [email protected]. We know a good engineer when we see one, so there won't be a lot of interviews to go through.

At Theatre.js [0] we are enabling artists and engineers to create great interactive experiences. We are also empowering people to craft their own creative environments. Our mission is to blur the line between designer and developer, author and consumer, artist and scientist.
We recently announced $4.5M in seed funding [1] and are assembling a small core team, with autonomy and a great deal of creative freedom for our teammates.
Positions:
- Founding Designer - Senior
* The focus is on product design, including UI/interaction design
* Apply if you have an eye for bold visual design and cinematics
- Founding Software Engineers - Senior
* These are three positions, each focusing on one or more of:
* Frontend/UI engineering
* Design enginering
* Platform and framework
* History and multiplayer collaboration
* 3D graphics (WebGL)
* Our tech stack is TypeScript and React

Theatre.js is an open-source motion graphics editor for the web. It is our first step towards building a collaborative medium for dynamic systems (microsites, apps, generative art, explorable explanations). We aim to blur the line between designer/developer, author/consumer, and artist/scientist.
Our inspiration comes from the work of Ivan Sutherland, Seymour Papert, Bret Victor, and others.
We launched in September [0], and have just started hiring the core team [1] with four positions open. Join us as Founding Engineers (senior-level or higher), Founding HCI Researcher, or Founding Designer (owning design from branding to UX). Your agency and comp will match your Founding X title.

The constructionist movement is trying to change that. To make making be the education.

The library has been part of a larger project so it's hard to say how much the library itself has taken to develop.
Great to find this on the front page!
I call Theatre.js a hackable animation tool. It helps you to:
- craft detailed motion for JS values,
- route those values to actual visual objects, like DOM nodes, THREE.js objects, or your homemade libraries, (someone even did a lightshow with Arduino and Theatre.js)
- and build visual tools for your own tech stack.

Happy to answer any questions!
I was weighing whether to go with videos or GIFs a few days ago. Sadly, video in markdown is not supported everywhere (eg. in npmjs.com) so some users wouldn't see them. And the readme wouldn't make much sense without the videos as this project is about motion design, so not much to explain in text.
So I opted for GIFs and spent a couple of hours cutting/speeding up videos to get the file sizes down.
The docs OTOH, contain no GIFs :) https://docs.theatrejs.com/getting-started/
So I put the disk in, and it says something like "Do you want to install Lindows?" with no options, no warnings or anything. So I hit Yes/Okay/whatever the single button on the screen was, and without zero warning, it proceeded to wipe my entire hard drive.
It's been 17 years and it still hurts :)
More conclusive evidence that everything we eat is good for you [1], I recently discovered skyr, a traditional Icelandic dairy product [2] with an unusually high protein/calories ratio.
It looks and tastes very much like the homemade yogurt of my grandma, "māst kise-i." And the preparation procedure of skyr and māst kise-i are almost the same.
Anyway, skyr is good for you. It replaces the protein shake, plus it has the other nutrients of a good dairy product, goes with all kinds of foods, and costs no more than yogurt.
