+- Continious image capture to create .gifs! (Currently only supporting a maximum framerate of 20FPS for capture.) For the finest quality GIFs, we recommend [this guide on using ffmpeg](https://blog.pkh.me/p/21-high-quality-gif-with-ffmpeg.html).
 - Automatic recompilation and update of shaders upon saving changes in your editor.
 - Quick iteration and experimentation with `wgsl` shader code.
 - Transparent background, with always-on-top (so you can have it on top of your editor, most OSes should be supported).
