A tool to make clouds and explore the effects of CSS & a couple of SVG Filters

User will be able to experiment and observe effects of adjustments to several relevant values affecting cloud image

Feature-set

custom slider thumbs as svg images. woohoo.

Zeus codes beside what will be a text display of resulting code (using copy-to-clipboard library);

Experimenting with randomized mosaic theme

Further experimentation

Day/Night Slider works

Added Cloud Model

Removed Decorative Tiles with significant gains in FirstMeaningfulPaint (while still substantial, improves things a great deal). This detail shows the first proof of this tool's utility. Inputs from sliders are delivered into the SVGFilter component & then changes are rendered in the CloudDisplay>CloudModel component.

Every slider works, now. There are decisions to make about ranges. Considering 5 or six buttons at bottom to call each setState to a pre-configured type of cloud configuration.

Final Draft

Please feel free to contact me for comments, complaints, suggestions, or HELP! :)
