    Do I understand this correctly.

    This is some "on the fly" computation?

    Like, people could add computing power to a process just by surfing to a webpage?

    Btw, if anyone is wondering why the workers run so slow when in a background tab, it is because most browsers throttle setTimeout's to run max once a second when the browser window looses focus. (web workers does not have this problem but for the demo i figured it would be fun to watch the workers do their thing)

    is this something like dnode? I used dnode for RPC style programming between an Arduino and web server: https://github.com/embeddednodejs/ch_8_entering_the_cloud/bl...

    possibly your lib could make the setup nicer.

    The animation makes the browser tab so jaggy I can barely scroll down to read more.
