If I HAD to? How famous do they have to be? I'm trying to choose a nature photographer. Patient, used to traveling, more likely to find things outside of the car interesting, and I could learn a lot.

The "random strings" might be some kind of encoding Chinese into "Western web" friendly Latin characters. I would expect to see some numbers in there if that was the case but I'm not an expert in the field and I could just be wrong about that.

From the store tab, there's a dropdown under "your store" with a "preferences" option. In the store preferences tab on the left, the "mature content filtering" option has 5 levels of settings that you can pick from. I've only got the top 3 checked and don't have this problem anymore.

My phone logged me out over a month ago and I just couldn't be bothered to log back in. Guess that goes to show how much I like interacting with social media.

Ah that explains the way the columns and rows overlap and it's a lot faster algorithm than sorting lines by brightness first. Hah

Are they drawn in order of brightness? That's a neat effect.

a glitched snaking row of multicolored umbrellas with glitched sunlight coming down at a slanted angle, giving the ambiguous impression that these could be floating in the air or atop a body of water

Planning to allow any control to be linked to audio, as well as FFT so it's not just raw volume and you can link different effects to say treble, mid, bass or some other quality of the audio.

Current result is just the laziest "how feasible is this?" code.

Fun fact when I initially started working on this project my first concept was a music visualizer. Now 10+ years later I'm finally working on the audio reactivity part.

Audio here from the Risk of Rain 2 soundtrack by Chris Christodoulou.

Some flashing lights warning.

You really have to make sure you know where you're going first when it will take so long to get there.

This is one where knowing the sound it makes is really helpful. They make a pretty loud and unique noise while flying so you can know to be on the lookout.

Abstract digital art photograph depicting a bright, dramatically vertical line of intense, white-hot light against a soft gradient backdrop of purples, pinks, and oranges. The central luminous streak widens near its base, touching a glowing horizon. Colors fade gently outward, creating the appearance of extreme motion blur, evoking a dreamy, surreal atmosphere.

I don't really have a lot of experience. I started out with java (Processing) because of a college class and then wanted to be able to make it into a web app so I could just share a link instead of making people download something, and conveniently had p5js as the javascipt version of processing.

Having rewritten a java app in javascript just for the portability / shareability of it, javascript is janky all on it's own. Probably worth it but the image processing bits that I couldn't rewrite as webgl shaders run a lot slower.

Work was exhausting this week and I didn't want to go outside today so I did more work on my app instead.
Tweaking shaders, adding more options.

Ah. It was because of pixel density. A pixel isn't just a pixel on some devices.

Do I need to make a mobile UI now? I really don't like coding UI.

I always enjoy photographing storm clouds like this. In a way, it's fascinating. Do you enjoy it too?

Secret changelog because the video features are not finished:
Added video controls if you load a video as an image.
(Hover over the blank box in the controls panel after loading a video)

The flowers have been sliced vertically and groups of pixels are moved left and right.

Split "cubic" controls into x and y axis so they can be controlled separately.

The top bit of flowers is still recognizable, but everthing else is a mess of rectangles in various colors.

Added drag and drop file handling. Loading new images is much faster.
Optimizations. (I was accidentally running the shaders twice every frame before)
Added new controls to refraction modes and adjusted scale functions.
Added an option to scale the main image to the map image.
Changed default image.
