for everyone else who hadn't heard of this (i was 6 sorry!) it lets you pass elements through custom vertex shaders & fragment shaders as easily as:

filter: custom(
        url(vertexshader.vert)
        mix(url(fragment.frag) normal source-atop),
        /* Row, columns - the vertices are made automatically */
        4 5,
        /* Uniforms to pass to the shaders */
        time 0)

@h Hmm, but technically something similar still has (somewhat) landed in browsers

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Houdini_APIs

@pixel yep, I'm aware of this! I've not played with it much but I don't think it would be nearly as convenient for the shader use-case- though maybe it'd still be possible? I'll have to look into it more

@h also, it's another "Firefox has not touched this" feature yet, even though the spec etc. has been existing for years by now.

But at least it's under consideration, "worth prototyping" in their proposals.

@pixel typical firefox

@h@social.besties.house @pixel@desu.social sometimes it works in our favor

@h@social.besties.house @pixel@desu.social webusb is wretched

@puppygirlhornypost2 @pixel @h the only thing i know about webusb is that it's given us a decent to use minidisc app, for netMD devices

on the one hand it is cursed using something in a webapp for that, on the other hand, i get to write to my funny lil minidiscs, so,

@EeveeEuphoria @h @puppygirlhornypost2 one of my arcade controllers has a WebUSB configurator and that's honestly pretty nifty

but I looked into playing around with the APIs it and it's cursed.
