Neat! Way back in the day (circa 1998!) we (ITA) released a Java applet that offered Gantt chart -- we called it "colored bars" -- airfare search. This applet downloaded a compact representation (graph) of all the possible solutions into its working memory and applied all the sorting and filtering client-side in real time. So it was really fast and powerful.

Of course, Java applets as an ecosystem died so we ended up with the server-side matrix design. It's nice to see the same (client-side) concept resurrected again 20+ years later.
