Firstly, I think this is a cool idea. Fractals are fun to look at and play with. Please take this feedback as being positively-intentioned :)
During the tutorial I clicked Add and some boxes were created. I dragged them around on the canvas. I have no concept of how the resulting image [0] relates to what I created. It doesn't look like the kind of fractals (Mandelbrot etc) that I'm familiar with.
I also didn't figure out how to do anything other than move some boxes around. Probably I just missed something.

#5It would be really nice if the tutorial walked you through creating a sample simple fractal, like the Sierpinski triangle or Koch snowflake.

The fractals on this site are not "escape-time fractals" like the Mandelbrot set, but iterated function systems[1], a more discrete fractal variant that starts with an initial generating set and then replaces each element with a smaller copy of the whole set (a good example would be ferns).

Yes, tried to create but due to lack of instructions and poor UX abandoned the site quickly.

#9Tried to publish with Firefox, got the following error (in console):
TypeError: t.t0.response is undefined Create.js:139:16
Please fix your site for Firefox; it's sad when people only test with Chrome :(

Here's my try. Any idea why it didn’t result in the Sierpinsky triangle?

I can't seem to create more than 1 box of the same color.
