Looks great, the colors are really pleasant. What I personally find missing with all fractal zoom animations is that they always insist on zooming-in motion, while I believe the more logical direction would be zooming-out motion. Yes, yes, I know, I could download the YouTube video and reverse it to achieve the same thing, but, somehow, I could never find the time to do that.

Good one! I'll take that into account when I implement animations. Thanks

Looks great :) It would be nice to be able to manually tweak the plotting algorithm or some underlying metrics.

Yes, that would be nice. Currently the app is heavily optimized just for the standard Mandelbrot set to squeeze out every last drop of performance. I will have a go at this, but it will be challenging :) Thanks!

Excuse me and how dare you. I have stuff I need to get done today. ><

This is very cool!
