Definitely. I haven't yet had a request to do a double triangular distribution, that looks really interesting.

It will be a bit of a challenge to make it intuitive, but I'm sure I'll figure out something.

Just so you know, right now there is a second distribution, uniform. You can access it by clicking the 'normal' icon in a normal distribution, where a short list is shown below.

I just made an issue on github, but the uniform distribution looks wonky at the right endpoint.

Much of that is because the react histogram library I used. There are a bunch of issues with it. I definitely intend to replace it with something much better. If any of you recommend tools or libraries for that, I'd be very appreciative.
