This is super impressive and really exciting as I am looking to get deeper into WebGPU. Two quick notes on the playground before I dive into the content soon:

1. The playground code does not seem to fully work on Safari. The code is there and selectable but the glyphs are invisible.

EDIT: My Safari was just bugged, had to restart it and it works

2. Is the cover of the book on the right of the playground supposed to change depending on which example you are looking at? I think it could be nice if the book contents were rendered alongside the code if the user wanted instead of the cover which does not change.

Safari has not shipped WebGPU. Why would you expect it to work. Until Safari officially ship WebGPU it's guaranteed to be buggy and missing features.
I was referring to the code editor in the playground which I assume is not powered by WebGPU. I noticed the issue on other sites as well which prompted me to restart, fixing the issue.

I have WebGPU enabled in Safari through a preview flag, and running the playground examples worked fine.
