cool! never heard of your project, I've actually written something a bit similar :D https://github.com/stasilo/retrace.gl

I've written a tool somewhat similar that can export meshes of sdf's created using a javascript api, check it out: https://github.com/stasilo/retrace.gl

Thanks! :) Currently the real time sample count is hardcoded to 1 sample per frame, if you can be bothered with cloning and building the app though, the line to change is: https://github.com/stasilo/retrace.gl/blob/master/src/store/....

I'll make this along with render res. and some other settings customizable in the future :)

I do understand the economics at play, and I haven't dismissed the subscription model. My point of view is simply this: if you're a media outlet producing content and you can't survive on a subscription based model (or any other model) alone, and have to revert to ads (malicious, annoying ads - I'll admit there are reasonable ways to advertise, but that's not what we're talking about here) to make ends meet, then your content isn't good enough.

That's like making a terrible burger and complaining you're going out of business because people aren't buying it. Tough luck, but that's capitalism.

Yes, I do. But I don't even consider that necessary for the "survival" of the net.

There was an internet before google/fb established the current status quo for revenue, and there will be one after. Maybe (hopefully) with less attention grabbing, utter garbage.

^-- This, a thousand times this. The ad revenue model is what's destroying the internet; creating walled gardens and attention feedback loops, furthering the commoditization of people, simply because, if you leave, they won't be able to serve you ads. I would argue that the only morally acceptable thing to do is to block ads, not the other way 'round.

It's pure garbage, and the sooner it dies the better.
