Reading "I am a cryptographer" got me wary, looking back at your comments, I see that you did this multiple times before and I've tried looking you up but I couldn't find anything that substantiates that claim, I've looked also for publications and couldn't find any so I am curious, what are your credentials?

It appears to have some inspiration from VOGL https://github.com/ValveSoftware which is Valve's OpenGL debugger.

I see. Nitpicks: - The twitter icon on the top right points to @spiritplumber which has the name of a "Linda Camezon", a standard issue avatar and only 1 tweet which doesn't signify anything. - The text at the bottom of the website (in green) is unreadable given the background. - I couldn't find a careers section or the location of the company. - The videos are not professionally produced which gives the feel of an amateur effort not an established company.

These are called desginated initializers, they're part of C99.[0] This is a good read which discusses them and also devles into compound literals.[1]

How do you ship code when working with a team without communicating with them?

I really would like to see a citation to back that claim "Automakers from around the world are rushing to set up offices in the Bay Area..."

Great work! It might be cool if you could use voronoi diagrams to select the closest path to the mouse's position like the NYT did [0] because without really zooming in, the lines on some terrains appear to be very thin which makes hovering over a specific one a little harder.

There's also a great talk that discusses this from JSconf2014 [1]

"demonstrated in code snippets below". The code snippets are actually images and even worse, they're JPEGs which is the reason why the text looks horrible.

I was contemplating working on something similar due to my frustration with not remembering which episode I watched last of something, thanks!

[Edit] The website has "keep track of all the movies and TV series you have seen" in the list of features but I wasn't able to add a show and check off episodes as I expected when I read that.

There's also uzbl which is a browser that natively supports vi-like browsing http://www.uzbl.org/ but beware, there were some bugs with the TLS validation process iirc, not sure if they're fixed yet.
