SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
Small NP-hard problems aren't actually that bad. You can usually formulate them as eg a integer programming problem or a SMT problem, and throw an off-the-shelf solver at them.
You only need to learn the solver once, and you can re-use it for all kinds of problems. (Assuming that your instances don't have to be solved with low latency. Eg only as part of your level generation process, or at most when loading a randomly generated level, but not every frame or so.)

JPS is fun; though I struggled to interpret the suggested performance gains by the authors indeed due to the calculation of the jump nodes.
Many years ago I added a visualisation to the JPS implementation of PathFinding.js to visualise this recursive search to find jump nodes - here's an online demo: https://qiao.github.io/PathFinding.js/visual/
