For those who haven’t seen it, Makepad is also an in-browser code editor with an open-source UI toolkit. Looks like this synth is one of the examples of the UI toolkit.

press option on mac. it's amazing

That is fantastic

What does it do?

It sort of zooms out and shows top level lines at regular size, but a mini-map like view of code underneath the top level. It's very smooth too.

Pressing Alt seems to invoke the same on linux/gnome, probably alt key on windows as well.

It feels much more snappier than Electron-based apps.

Rather than going through the browser’s rendering engine, it’s entirely rendered on the GPU. Super impressive.
