looks like a slopfork of the fairly new https://shaders.com - frustrating for them!

Welcome to the world of zero cost software we were promised

Indeed we prefer the world where only deep-pocketed entrenched monopolies can do this.

"slopfork" nice

I heard the term used on the shoptalk podcast about cloudflare slopforking wordpress!

They look nothing alike except they are both about shaders. Could you explain why you think this is a slopfork?

Did you try the shader.com shader editor where you stack shaders and effects in layers? V similar approach!

I'm the Founder at https://shaders.com. Not frustrating at all, and Basement is an excellent team. Shader Lab looks like a solid tool for exploration and and creating effects, nothing slop about it (although I love the word "slopfork", that's new).

Our platform goes above and beyond that with a large collection of Pro presets and a unique capability in our component-based approach with reactive props, and of course broader framework support. All that, and our new MCP workflow for having your agent prompt effects, and we feel confident in our place in the market.

Would recommend checking out both Shader Lab AND shaders.com to anyone interested in creative shader effects for the web.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

so does Photoshop and thousand other visual editing tools. Hardly a reason to claim it to be a copy. Also "slopfork" seems harsh considering it seems limited, but well designed imo.
