As someone's whose math(s) isn't up to scratch, I find the HTML sliders aspect of this the least interesting. But I love the demonstration of what you can do with a simple equation — it reminds me of some of the things I've seen people do with pico-8, for example. This demo right here absolutely destroys my cpu, tho...


It's very similar to writing shaders. Check out this video for some crazy stuff you can do with equations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8--5LwHRhjk


it also uses canvas, not actual html sliders


Oh yes — I see this comment in the source:

> in case you're wondering, i use a canvas instead of HTML sliders for consistent display across browsers

which makes the emphasis on sliders even stranger, to me.


Darn, I thought this was going to be my solution to outliers in scientific data plots.
