Off Balance: Interactive Storytelling with React
summary
Builds the interactive project America Off Balance as a digital pop-up book and explains exactly how shapes are generated with SVG paths using circle and line intersections and algorithm code referenced from William Fiset. Uses react-spring (Hooks-friendly) for spring interpolation, a scroll-driven steps model to remap progress, and shows the final orchestration becoming a 2,000-line orchestration that is brittle for larger teams. Presents a working internal editor as a visual scaffolding tools strategy that speeds iteration but warns about scalability and maintenance.
