shader-gallery / shaders

The shader catalog behind shader.gallery — a curated collection of single-pass fragment shaders by E. T. Carter.

Each shader lives in its own directory:

<slug>/
├── shader.frag    # GLSL fragment shader (single pass)
├── meta.json      # name, family, author, tags, description, params, palette, post
└── poster.webp    # static preview frame

manifest.json lists every shader slug and the family categories.

Using these shaders

The catalog is served from a CDN and consumed by the @shader-gallery/runtime and the shader-gallery CLI. You can also read shader.frag + meta.json directly — each shader is a self-contained mainImage-style pass driven by the uniforms declared in its meta.json params.
