Highlight experiment
I felt the classic on/off highlighting with CSS was a bit too flickery. So I coded up this test to try out different ways to do it. "Smooth" uses movement (of one object) and "Fade" uses a an animation of multiple ones. Use the duration slider. This was more about human perception than technical implementation. I personally find a short "Fade" to be the best

Sun Orbit Intuition
I saw a tweet the other day talking about how it was harder to "blast something into the sun" than it was to leave the solar system. I realized I didn't really have an intuition for why that was, so I had Claude build me an interactive toy to try to figure out why that's the case.
