Do note you can click and drag on it too.

Annoyingly overrides swiping back to navigate on mobile.

I have accidentally swipe-navigated far more times than I have ever purposefully swipe-navigated (zero times), so I am astounded to see someone who hasn't rage-disabled that misfeature upon installation of the OS.

Based on the patterns that appear when undisturbed, this seems to be based on a cellular automaton.

My guess is a reaction diffusion simulation

No problem on Android/Chrome. Are you using an iPhone? If so, the annoyance should be aimed at Apple not the creator of this demo.

Yeah the code has a (somewhat rudimentary) fluid sim that's fed into reaction-diffusion. Pretty cool, don't think I've seen that combination before

I don't begrudge it being overridden here since this is a demo, but ever since, like, way early Opera era, swiping to navigate is muscle memory for me, and I prefer it both on desktop and mobile/tablet. Much simpler than reaching for the button.

Glad you have the ability to set your own preferences, but I’m pretty sure most people are happy with this. Do you by chance spend a lot of time reading PDFs while angry?
