This is sweet! Is there like a way to contribute and build these or is this just a list of cool things someone has made?

Some of these are neat. I like the stripey ones. Not sure what I would use it for though.

It seems that at least part of these are stolen/copied works from others. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdHGZhytcx8/ https://annaluciawrites.substack.com/p/how-to-steal-my-work

Pretty neat. I see the page considers there to be 5 different kinds of tools but the only ones I can find all make 2D textures/images. Are there others I just am failing to locate?

Interesting! Raw JavaScript writes to an ImageData buffer enlarged to canvas. No 3rd party libs or WGSL

There's a lot of weird, seemingly LLM-generated comments hyping the project here. I think HN should start thinking seriously about more effective strategies to combat LLM-assisted astroturfing, if they aren't already. None of this speaks about the quality of the project itself, but the fact that someone seems to be trying to manipulate me into caring about it makes me less inclined toward wanting to see anything relating to it.
