For those who haven’t seen it, Makepad is also an in-browser code editor with an open-source UI toolkit. Looks like this synth is one of the examples of the UI toolkit. https://makepad.dev/

The Makepad fractal zoom example crashed my browser in all kinds of of ways that a browser is not supposed to be able to crash.

It's using lots of workers and SIMD. What is your OS/browser?

Wait what, that's a thing on web now? I thought simd was only on native, not wasm

https://github.com/makepad/makepad It's the iron fish project.

I was disappointed in that example for a different reason. it ran on my phone, but when I pinch -zoomed (which is what I assumed a zoom widget built for web was supposed to support) it kept zooming towards the same point, which was a boring black spot. it didn't pan and zoom like I would have expected.

I saw mention of it in the emscripten docs but haven't experimented yet:

Pressing Alt seems to invoke the same on linux/gnome, probably alt key on windows as well.
