@TheCodeTherapy @bgolus @iquilezles @XorDev Thanks for the heads-up! I just took a look at the Shader Playground site and it seems to be working for me - is it working for you now?

@KaosLisa @jaytwotwit I don’t! That sounds entertaining though, unless of course he does that every single time… does he do it every single time? 😊

A few more $5 sponsors would get me to break-even on the Azure hosting bill, which would make this more sustainable for the long term (hosting bill is £70/month, current sponsors generously provide ~£50 of that).

@mlrdev Thanks Marcelo! You've been an important part of this too; you helped a lot with my questions about "fun" parts of HLSL syntax, back in the day. It's 7 years since we first chatted about HLSL parsers, times goes quickly!

@Alecazam123 No, just Visual Studio for Windows. Many of the underlying text editor APIs are now shared, which is great, but there's still enough different that it would require specific and non-trivial effort to support VSMac.

@jaytwotwit Well done! Any tips? I’d love to have a graph that looked that like but… I also never feel motivated to put any effort into it ;)

@b33rdy @jaytwotwit I feel your pain. For two years now I’ve had to remove my glasses to squint at small printed text.
