Nottawa was made for you by an artist & engineer named Joe Crozier.

I want you to make something cool.
Enjoy.

We're standing on the shoulders of giants with this project. There are a handful of people who need thanks, without them, Nottawa would not exist.
Shadertoy authors are the source of many of Nottawa's coolest effects. We've got an ℹ in app noting the coder themself. Here are their profiles. If your name should be on this list and is not, please reach out!
Andrei Jay and their work on Video Waaaves. Nottawa began as a reskin of Video Waaaves before quickly growing into its own product.
IQ and his career spent making shader art accessible to the world.
Zachary Lieberman, Theo Watson, and Arturo Castro for their work on OpenFrameworks, the C++ runtime which Nottawa was built off of.
