I neglected my visualizations web site, things made thinkable, for too long. Here’s what I did to bring it back to life:

- Made it reactive
- Embraced SVG
- Started a mailing list
- Stopped reusing code
- Switched to newer fonts
- Reduced bloat
- Added social meta tags
- Started tweeting about it
- Quit my jobs
