Changelog

1.1.0 — 2026-03-19

Feedback Loop (Daft Punk) — Recursive video feedback tunnel with holographic color cycling, geometric seed shapes, and infinite fractal depth using ping-pong FBOs (WebGL)
Dither Gradient (Daft Punk) — Smooth gradients decomposed into shifting ordered dithering patterns (Bayer, halftone, crosshatch) with chromatic separation and bit-depth waves (WebGL)
Analog Drift (Daft Punk) — Morphing Lissajous figures with phosphor persistence trails, harmonic overtones, and oscilloscope grid (Canvas 2D)
Synth Ribbon (Chappell Roan) — Flowing metallic ribbons twisting through 3D space with chrome reflections in hot pink and cyan (Canvas 2D)
Hologram Glitch (Daft Punk) — Abstract holographic texture with chromatic aberration, scanlines, and controlled glitch bursts (WebGL)
Shattered Plains (Brandon Sanderson) — Storm-carved chasms branching through ancient sandstone plateaus with depth-revealed strata (WebGL)
Painted Strata (Laufey) — Flowing layered bands with washi paper textures, slow tectonic folding, and fibrous grain (WebGL)

Moonlit Ripple — Complete rewrite with 3D perspective camera, ray-plane water intersection, multi-directional waves with analytical normals, Fresnel-based reflection, textured moon with craters, and adjustable wave intensity (calm lake to stormy ocean)
Eclipse Glow — Removed floating rectangular artifacts, added asymmetric corona streamers, softened diamond ring bloom, fixed horizontal lens streak, improved FPS from ~35 to ~54

Mouse & touch interactivity for all shaders. Every shader now responds to cursor movement, clicks, or drags with interactions designed for each visual:
- Particle systems — attract, repel, or stir particles
- Physics simulations — pluck, push, or add force sources
- Drawing (Ink Calligraphy) — paint brush strokes with speed-based width
- Fluid dynamics — drag to smear
- 3D/4D rotation — drag to orbit the camera
- Light sources — cursor becomes an additional light
- Splash/spawn — click to create bursts
Auto-detected interaction hints on shader detail pages

Gallery live mode toggle — opt-in button in gallery headers to preview all visible shaders at once
Per-shader default color schemes — shaders can specify a preferred color scheme (e.g. Moonlit Ripple defaults to Blue)
Removed auto-activation budget system — shaders only activate on hover by default, fixing browser crashes from too many concurrent iframes

Major performance optimizations for Stardust Veil, Silk Cascade, and many other shaders
Gallery preload system simplified — HTML pre-fetched on scroll, iframes created only on hover

Preview sprite generation script (node scripts/generate-previews.mjs)
Comprehensive new-shader checklist in CLAUDE.md
Inspiration metadata system (intros + palettes) for celebrity-inspired shader pages
