#13Breaks Safari on mobile as soon as the top video loads. At least the back button works but scrolling or any other gesture doesn't...

#14What about Web GPU, does cables support that?
We are working on it! That will hopefully be available by the end of this year

#17Cables is an incredibly powerful tool with a fairly low learning curve. I couldn't have done what I did with my personal website[1] (sorry, mobile optimized!) if I was working with WebGL directly, especially not in the 3 days it took me to build and deploy with no prior experience.
If you're a interested in experimenting with creative stuff without the traditionally high barrier of entry, I highly recommend cables and the Decode.gl tutorial series[2].
Cables is an exceptionally versatile and user-friendly tool, especially for those new to creative coding. It allowed me to create my personal website[1] (sorry doesn't work on mobile) in just three days, despite having no prior experience. Achieving the same results using WebGL directly would have been significantly more challenging and time-consuming.
For anyone interested in exploring creative digital projects without facing the typically steep learning curve, I strongly suggest giving Cables a try.
Additionally, the Decode.gl[2] tutorial series is extremely high quality

#18Cables is absolutely fantastic. I used it personally for an art project, as well as was involved with a commerical AR experience which used cables to run elaborate, fully interactive 3d scenes in a normal browser, on mobile. As with other node based languages (e.g. vvvv, max/msp), you edit your code while it's running, so you directly see what you're doing without constantly switching interfaces. And in the end it generates a js file you can just embed in an iframe. Honestly, no idea why this is not more widely used, huge fan!

#19GitHub: https://github.com/cables-gl/cables Really cool project, love to see things that touch web tech, VPLs, and creative programming. Could not find repo from the website on mobile, would love to see it in the footer or in the CTA.
Web tech is horrible, but creative programming is great.
