Hi HN, I'm a psychotherapist and also the dev behind this site.
The project was an attempt to reflect our clinical principles in the design: privacy, calm, and the idea of how unseen patterns can gently emerge into focus.
The background is a custom WebGL2 flow-field I built (physics in a worker thread), and we don't use Google Analytics. Instead, we run a self-hosted, anonymized Matomo instance. The linked colophon has the full story.
For anyone who wants to see the code, I've open-sourced the renderer + GUI for parameters here: https://github.com/23x2/generative-flow-field
Happy to answer any questions about the tech, the clinical philosophy behind it, or both.
