Glad you like it! Several years ago, I wrote my first project, Zircle UI, which mixed zoomable navigation with circular UI. It was not flexible at all, but I enjoyed it and learned a lot from this experience. Then, I decided to split Zircle into two independent parts: Orbit for radial UI (I mean, not constrained to circular shapes), and Zumly, a JS zoomable WIP engine (https://github.com/zumerlab/zumly). While you can use both projects together, they can also be used independently
I’ve been super interested in zoomable interfaces for text - there was an interesting demo in a rust conference talk: https://youtu.be/rC4FCS-oMpg?si=h6xv3fgOXkBTXg3R (skip to 14:45 to see it in action)
I must confess that I don't have any experience in graphic design. I actually used existing examples that I thought were well-designed and tried to recreate them using Orbit to see if it was possible.

Very cool! Do you have a lot of design experience? The demo and the page was very artistically put together.
