Shadertoy, be prepared to lose a few hours. Very demoscene. It's wonderful that many of these load in the blink of an eye and run silky smooth even on a 2 year old iPhone.

Shadertoy is one of the main source of benchmark for a GPU compiler: the iOS (LLVM based) shader compiler is heavily optimized toward these.

Yes! I want to see more shadertoy on HN

I don't, apparently the site has been hugged to death. (almost, the shader is working but CSS and other static resources aren't).

I want to upload a WebGL demo I've made but I don't understand where I input the vertex shader, only the fragment shader. The site lacks info on how it works.

That's the whole point of ShaderToy AFAIK: no geometry, all pixel magic. Whatever you see on there is entirely frag-shaders. If it looks like geometry, it's still just funky fancy formulas in image space

What an awesome moody shader! The bar is high on shadertoy and there are some amazing shaders, but the aesthetic of this one is a rare gem. Here's the author's video of the shader, for anyone on a device that doesn't display the shader or play the audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrxZ4AZPdOQ
