The smallest amount that survives the payment fees. You'd essentially be spotting if we're safe for landing while flying over the dropzone.

Here you're in freefall experiencing the same amount of gravity and drag while supporting the work that is being created.

At this point you've put your life on the line to keep that plane flying. An engine quits at 1,500 and we're all coming back to the ground together because of you.

I have no perks worth this number and I am not going to invent any. A thank you from me, and everything else becomes build time.

WHERE SUPPORT GOES

SkyTales is one person. The infrastructure is cheap: roughly a jump ticket a month. That is not where support goes.

It goes into time. The physics, the numerics, getting a simulation to run smoothly in a browser tab. All of it is hours, and hours are the one thing this project runs on. Support converts into build time. Everything here was free before you arrived and stays free either way. Support changes the rate, not the access.

FAQ

Can I use the visualizations without supporting?
Yes. The visualizations are free for everyone. That is the model, not a promotion. Support adds things around them; it never unlocks them.
Can I use the source code in my own projects?
No. Source access is for reading and learning. Copyright stays with me: no copying, reuse, or redistribution. If you want to license code commercially, email .
Can I support with a one time payment?
Yes. Make a one‑time donation here.
I'm a teacher. Can I use these in my classroom?
Please do. That's the whole point. All visualizations are browser based, so they work on any device. To keep it academic, I added a citation at the index of the site.
What tools do you use to build these?
JavaScript, WebGL, Three.js, and a lot of math.
