Great project. Love that it's configurable and open source. The analytics are a nice touch. I'm a little confused by the fitness percentage though. 98% or even 99% fitness seems to have very little immediate resemblance to the target image.

The fitness value represents the difference between the pixels of the "goal" image and the pixels of the current individual [1]. It will not necessarily reflect the perceived similarity between two images, which will change from person to person.
