Live GLSL shader breakdown that actually runs in your browser while you read.

Strengths
  • •Shader executes live on the page, not just static code screenshots or gifs.
  • •Breaks complex fragment shader into digestible sections with zero prerequisite knowledge needed.
  • •Three.js setup explained clearly—shows exactly what the engine does versus the shader.
Weaknesses
  • •Shader tutorials already exist (Book of Shaders, ShaderToy) with broader coverage.
  • •Single-effect focus limits broader applicability beyond this specific black hole visualization.
