What Hacker News says

2 sources
Over the last months, I have been compiling a list of state of the art in Mandelbrot implementations that run in the browser: https://github.com/no-gravity/WorldWideMandelbrot Every solution has its pros and cons. I still have not seen one that allows deep zooms (The parent only allows up to 48x zoom for example), is written in JS (parent is written in Rust and then compiled to JS), is fast, has a UI that nicely works on mobile and allows to save arbitrarely high resolutions. If there is none, I'm planning to write one myself. Thinking about it, this could also be an interesting test on how far AI has come. When will I be able to hand the above text to an LLM and get out an HTML page with all the code that satisfies the above criteria?
