The Makepad fractal zoom example crashed my browser in all kinds of of ways that a browser is not supposed to be able to crash.

I was disappointed in that example for a different reason. it ran on my phone, but when I pinch -zoomed (which is what I assumed a zoom widget built for web was supposed to support) it kept zooming towards the same point, which was a boring black spot. it didn't pan and zoom like I would have expected.
Good point, i'll work on it
It's using lots of workers and SIMD. What is your OS/browser?
Wait what, that's a thing on web now? I thought simd was only on native, not wasm
I saw mention of it in the emscripten docs but haven't experimented yet:
