Is there a way I could save the "silks" that I create? If not, would you please consider implementing it?

Try opening up Webkit Inspector console and type:

$("").attr('src', $("#render").get(0).toDataURL()).prependTo("body");

Or here's a bookmarklet: http://bookmarklets.heroku.com/bookmarklets/1799

this will be great for generating website background, can be saved to image? can final images be used in commercial products?

You just mesmerized my four year old — she sat still longer than I've seen in ages. If beautiful interactive visualization ever gets old I think you have a future in toddler mind control...

I am scared that your four year old will now compare the visual excitement of virtual worlds to reality.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I will probably set up a blog and write up some posts on the experience of making it sometime soon. :-)

Clicked on the example image but it didn't replay exactly. =[ Nevertheless, the non-exact replay was just as amazing. http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/1645/screenshot20110111at...

I think it is exact, but just a part of the total image is shown in the frame (the lower left part, look for it).

Yep. Replays are exact, which was a conscious choice on my part.

I plan to explore inexact replays in the future. It's not difficult, just a bit of fooling about with the random number generator.

The main issue right now is that you can't tell the difference between two similar Silks unless you have them side-by-side. Solving that problem is something I'm looking into for future versions. :-)

This is awesome. Making it so users can download the silks they make would be nice. Using your silk as my background is cool, but using my own is even better :)

If I could download the images with a transparent background, I would probably use them as a design element on pages I need to spruce up.

Alex, try hitting 'e' once you've woven a Silk. The little transparent that pops up to the top right is full-size. Right-click it to save, and double-click it to hide.

This is beautiful through and through but you are missing a favicon. You might already be aware of this, just thought I'd let you know.

Amazing. Are you going to blog about your experience building it? It'd be great to here some details. Plus it gives it a human story thats just might get some great press.
