In case the creator is reading this, please don't break scrolling. This page scrolls impossibly slowly for me. (Firefox 37.0.2, OSX 10.10.3)
Note to author: I didn't bother to read the page because scrolling and navigating was horridly broken. Do not hijack the scrollbar and/or mouse navigation.
Strange. I could scroll using the scrollbar or two-finger scroll-gestures on the trackpad (plus by dragging the text, which is unusual) and I'm using Chrome for OSX. What platform are you on that has this problem?
The author's voice makes me want to create some happy little fractal trees over here ... then some happy little fractal clouds over there ... This is awesome. I want to play with this very badly.

I've never heard of any of these people, but I have a strange impulse to buy some iOS app called Frax.
I can't but help to think there might be some commercial potential here-- it looks incredibly fun to play with. Perhaps a free web-app where you can pay to have animations rendered at high resolution server-side and then placed in a Dropbox folder for download. Or something that makes music videos by using audio information to control some of the fractal parameters during an animation.
Perhaps you could seize the opportunity to train yourself not to look for a commercial value, or indeed, any value beyond it's inherent value. To me it's obvious that this has value in itself ; and frankly, I'm surprised you don't appreciate that.
This is by-and-large a community of entrepreneurs. We are trained to look for commercial value, and certainly see no benefit of training ourselves to the contrary.
Despite this, we can still appreciate this as art in and of itself. That doesn't mean it cannot be monetized.

Ugh, just what we need, another "pro" fractal renderer. Just search around, you can find plenty of non-free 2D ones, and it's not so easy to find a decent free 2D fractal renderer that does anything interesting, at least not last time I looked. I think it's one of those markets where you consistently find a small handful of people that are willing to pay, and the result is a net loss for the world at large, because fractals are cool but largely useless, and it's enough work to build something like this that people are reticent to give it away for free. So no, I don't think there's any real commercial potential there.

When I looked at the interface in the video, I was thinking that it looked like the Kai tools from back in the day. Not just the visual look, but the philosophy of "exploring", rather than "creating".
It boggles my mind to think that this guy knows more about fractals than I could ever know there is to know about fractals. It's really interesting to me how people gain such deep knowledge of fields that I'll never scratch the surface of. Makes me wish I had more time.
