InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
The source code is visible on-chain - it can be queried from the smart contract, but also it has been etched into the data of the “script upload” transaction. This is how ArtBlocks and other projects can fetch the script and display it. But that doesn’t mean the code is open source! Just like scripts on a website (which are also easy to see), the author decides on how to license the work.
I often suggest GenerativeArtistry as a simple starting point if you already know a bit of JavaScript and want to understand how it works on a basic level[1]. Tyler Hobbs' blog (OP link) also has some great essays on generative art[2], as with the blog of Anders Hoff[3], and also lots of other resources in awesome-creative-coding repo[4].
