Author here! Side projects be can quite therapeutic during these troubling times. This is an app I've really enjoyed tinkering with off and on over the past few months and am now happy to share it with others. The app includes sample videos along with a settings menu that allows the visualization to be changed on-the-fly. Looking forward to any feedback so can hopefully take it further. Hope you enjoy!

This is really rather interesting! I played with a few of the preset videos and you can really get some interesting results with the sliders you've made available.

One thing I was not sure of--is it possible to use it with arbitrary video sources (say from YouTube, or otherwise?)

I wasn't able to paste in a youtube link after the ?v and make it work so I was wondering.

Really cool idea, love it.

Thanks! Unfortunately it is currently limited to DRM-free video streams, since the app needs direct access to the video frame in order read the pixels. But in general you should be able to set the ?v= param to other sources.
