You can zoom deep into the fractal, tune colors and detail, and save or share exact locations as URLs.</p> <p>No signup, no install, no paywall. I mostly wanted it to feel like a little visual instrument: open it, wander, find a weird beautiful region, send that exact view to someone.</p> <p>I'd love feedback from DEV folks on the first-use experience:</p> <ul> <li>Is it obvious what to do in the first 10 seconds?</li> <li>Does it feel smooth on your browser/device?</li> <li>Would anything make the share-link flow more useful?</li> </ul> <p>Try it here: <a href="https://zoomingfractal.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://zoomingfractal.com</a></p> showdev webdev javascript creativecoding
