Your verdict:

Dwitter is a community of coders posting tiny visual demos, each constrained to 140 characters of JavaScript. When you arrive, you see a feed of looping animations, and you can browse by hot, new or random. Each one shows its code, so you can read the whole thing in a glance and marvel at how much happens in so little. The results are astonishing: swirling tunnels, bouncing shapes and 3D effects from a line that would fit in a tweet. It is a rewarding place for programmers who want to learn tricks, and a hypnotic one for everyone else. Because it is community-made, quality varies, but the random list is a fun way to browse. Open a few demos, look at the code, then try changing something. If you like this, tixy.land and Shadertoy are similar corners of the web on our list.

Tips for getting the most out of it

  • Use the random list for surprises.
  • Read the code under each demo.
  • Sort by hot to see the best.
