Very cool (I'm the developer of Harmonic) I'll be taking a look at this tomorrow for some inspiration and just to try it out :)

True, you'd think Safari wouldn't let websites go so crazy with WebGPU :)

1: Sorry about that, the default 20,000 is to make it look nice on computers but I should probably drop it a bit for phones, that's reasonable. 2: Yeah this part is important and cool and not entirely obvious until you solve the differential equation. I did a 3D simulation of a somewhat related situation (Thompson problem) once. But it would be very interesting to figure out if there is a 3D potential function that gives uniform density in the same way as the Ginibri (Q(z) = |z|^2) potential. Good idea for future work :) 3: Make sure you try the lemniscate potentials as well which are not rotationally symmetric. I want to try adding even more potentials in the future but these two families are those which has been subject to the most research.

Thanks for playing around with the tool!

Glad that you like it! It is a BottomSheet (https://m2.material.io/components/sheets-bottom) which is a Material design component from Google and they handle a lot of the complexity (although the implementation in the app has a few bugs) which is nice
