User reviews

assim como outras extensões do chrome, eu não tenho ideia do que essa extensão faz. eu procurei por um editor de shader e caí nesse... o que é isso? onde eu edito, qual shader? onde eu clico? não tem tutorial de uso, não tem nada. o site aponta pra trabalhos glsl que são feitos com outras tecnologias. eu não entendi nada.
