“Analytically speaking, Patatap is my most popular project. I think it is successful because it’s widely available, simple and surprisingly delightful. Personally, I’m proud of it because there were large technical hurdles to overcome. I developed a JavaScript library from scratch in order to achieve the vector quality and smooth animations. The library is called Two.js and is modelled similarly to Adobe Illustrator. Since Patatap, I have used Two.js in a number of projects. It allows me to sketch out my ideas with code quickly and easily.”
