Thoughts, feedback?

I like it -- it's a great idea to use counterpoint for this! Minor nit, but it feels a bit overwhelming with so many colors. Perhaps the node colors could animate to match nicely with the animating background color of the header? 🤷

I like the direction as well and agree that it's a bit overwhelming. I'd suggest trying to remove the animated background now that we have the graph.

Another possible thing to animate would be a bunch of area charts similar to some of the animated keynote templates. I suggest that since we do more line charts than graphs in the group ;-)

A potential alternative (I kept the background animation since now the charts don't have color):

I like the alternative!

I like it too! I'm going to merge.
