Best options for a modern high-performance custom GUI
For Swymm.org's beta I developed an interactive timeline with D3. It works fine but I'm planning the next major version and I'd like to get some insights on technologies for a modern custom GUI, beyond mere React/etc.
The GUI is like a cross between Google Maps and Adobe Illustrator. It needs to:
- zoom and pan quickly and without artifacts
- Drag and drop events
- Draw text boxes with draggable resizing
- Draw arrows, boxes, and other markup, all rotatable and resizeable
Stick with D3/SVG? Canvas with WebGL? What are the current and future options?
