Thanks! It's definitely a two-stage reaction. The visual shader engine is the hook—people love the tactile feel of painting WebGL effects and testing the mouse ripples.
But the zero vendor lock-in is the anchor. Creators have been burned so many times by walled gardens and proprietary databases. When they realize the assets are entirely portable and commit directly to their own workspace, the conversation completely changes. The visuals get them in the door, but the open architecture keeps them there!
That distinction is interesting. Sounds like the product is doing more than one job in the user’s mind. Would be good to continue this conversation — what’s the best email to reach you at?
I'd love to dig into that with you! I actually prefer chatting over on 𝕏—my DMs are completely open. Drop me a message at @lahirunayak and let's keep the conversation going.
I don’t use X much, so email would be easier for me. What’s the best email to reach you at?

No creative tool lets you paint real-time GPU effects directly onto images. I built Lens to turn static artwork into living, interactive visuals with simple brush strokes.

The zero vendor lock-in angle is interesting alongside the visual editor itself. Curious which part people notice first when they try the sandbox.
