I'm the Founder at https://shaders.com. Not frustrating at all, and Basement is an excellent team. Shader Lab looks like a solid tool for exploration and and creating effects, nothing slop about it (although I love the word "slopfork", that's new).
Our platform goes above and beyond that with a large collection of Pro presets and a unique capability in our component-based approach with reactive props, and of course broader framework support. All that, and our new MCP workflow for having your agent prompt effects, and we feel confident in our place in the market.
Would recommend checking out both Shader Lab AND shaders.com to anyone interested in creative shader effects for the web.
so does Photoshop and thousand other visual editing tools. Hardly a reason to claim it to be a copy.
Also "slopfork" seems harsh considering it seems limited, but well designed imo.
V cool. Works in ff on mac for me. Maybe vibe coded but it's a spectrum. Probably in need of a bit of polish and a better performing example & maybe resolution switching. Basement Studio is legit I have bought their fonts in the past.
Floating windows are a little pointless but aesthetic choice or a one shot ui. FPS would be nice, also distinction between canvas and void. Video export works great.
Nice interface -- I made something similar but for a specific game (Binding of Isaac) because it has a specific way of implementing shaders for mods. https://sublimnl.github.io/IsaacShaderStudio/

Went to try it and then gave up after it asked me to sign up/log in
It's entirely free to try, build, etc with an account - you only need a paid license when you're ready to export/deploy
Could you explain why you think this is a slopfork?

Submitted a bug report.
The design language screams vibe coded to me.
