Bizmo uses a canvas to show a scaled down version of the website so the aspect ratio matches the final output, I needed a way to dynamically adjust it for different desktop screen sizes.

The date was June 8th 2023 - a day that would kick off an unexpected chapter of my life. At that point, I knew just enough HTML and CSS to create the landing page for my startup idea, Bizmo.site.

At first, everything worked fine. I had some event processing going on, and it looked cool on a dashboard I whipped up. But as I started running stress tests, cracks began to show. Queries were taking forever, especially when analyzing large datasets. Every click started feeling like a weight dragging down the system.

Most of these small business owners didn’t have the technical or design skills needed to manage their websites.
