Note to author: the WebGL has great zoom settings, but WebGPU has different ones that feel very low-sensitivity (at least on trackpad on macos)

Very cool. I've noticed slug popping up more often on HN and I've been thinking of finding a way to incorporate it into my project as well.

Is this yours? What's your rendering system like - anything novel or fun you run into when working with text and GPU parallelism?

Not mine. I noticed that Aras was mentioning it https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aras/116335267839588454
