Did you mean to have a link to keyboard shortcuts in there?
Shaderoo looks pretty cool! Having geometry shaders makes it a very different & potentially more powerful thing than ShaderToy at the moment.
That said, there are a whole bunch of projects out there with the same goal: ShaderToy plus a few features. ShaderToy's value to me isn't really it's features though, it's IQ and his prolific sharing and persistence, and also the large user base. Replicating that and doing better will be a lot harder than replicating and extending the features. I'll be playing with it, and I wish the project much good luck!
