Thanks! I really like how shadertoy show previews of each shader. Maybe that's something we could add eventually.
Also - you can use OpenGL with this: https://sketch.expo.io/rJiYksBse

Looks great!
One suggestion, I didn't notice the first time I visited the page that the modal window prompting to open the app was a modal, I thought that it required an app download. It didn't even occur to me to click somewhere else on the page and so I just closed the tab. It wasn't until I read the article that I realized you could use it on a desktop.

Ah interesting point. Maybe we could make the overlay slightly more transparent?

My initial reaction was to associate this with Sketch App for Mac [1]. How do you plan to prevent confusion?

#10I imagine an integration with Appetize[1] would be very useful, as well as an opening for a possible revenue stream. Being able to build an RN app and then run it right in the browser removes another barrier for sharing RN code easily.
