Great visual story. It would have been cool if they had also included the High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) method, which is closer to how diamonds are naturally formed. However, I imagine it would have been harder to "show".

Any words of encouragement to a 32 year old considering a career switch to software development? I have a CS undegrad and have been working in the industry, although in strategy roles and never as a developer.

Nice work! It might be helpful to explain what "offline first" means (i.e. the data is stored in your local machine), especially for lay users.
