I've added the Mandelbrot set to Very Plotter.
This was a fun project, especially doing various tests and enhancements to improve calculation speed. I wrote my own arbitrary precision code, based on the new-ish JavaScript BigInt
class.
It was also a worthwhile challenge, I think, to get the site usable on mobile (tested on iOS) devices, where most interactive JavaScript Mandelbrot viewers I've seen do not work so well on iPhones/iPads.

I took this screenshot of apple.com 10 years ago this month. It's remained on my desktop ever since.
I really don’t like copyright notices and logos on images. I wanted a way to digitally (cryptographically) sign my photos before publishing them, so I came up with my own method. I also want my signatures to be public and impossible to corrupt, modify, or delete. How is this possible? "Groan," you say, "don't say with a blockchain". Yes, I am using blockchains (oh no!).
