Preset-first
Switch looks quickly, then go deeper with live edits instead of hopping between one-off demos.
Flagship visualizer
A browser-native visualizer in the MilkDrop lineage.
Start with MilkDrop Visualizer, a browser-native visualizer inspired by the preset-driven workflows popularized by Ryan Geiss's MilkDrop. Edit presets live, import or export your work, and keep the rest of the toy lab close when you want a different kind of audio-reactive scene.
Ready • Balanced • WebGPU when available
Explore the full toy labStart with curated presets, then branch into halos, tunnels, tidepools, grids, and other scenes when you want a different feel.
Credits stay explicit. Stims acknowledges Ryan Geiss's MilkDrop, the original Winamp context, preset authors, and the broader MilkDrop and projectM ecosystem where relevant.
Why Stims leads with MilkDrop
The flagship story is presets, playback, and live control.
Stims opens with the visualizer workflow many people already recognize: presets, playback, and live control in the lineage of Ryan Geiss's MilkDrop. The rest of the toy lab builds outward from there without pretending the lineage started here.
Preset engine
Curated looks ship with the site
The homepage points straight to a visualizer built around bundled presets, blend timing, and playback that works across more setups.
Live editing
Change the look without breaking playback
Source editing, diagnostics, and last-good rollback make the browser session feel like a real place to experiment.
Import and export
Round-trip presets, not just screenshots
Bring in `.milk` presets, tune them in place, and export the result when the visual is where you want it.
Toy lab
Go wider when you want more than MilkDrop
Halos, tidepools, tunnels, grids, and touch-first scenes are one click away when you want to branch out.
Lineage and credits
Credit the form and the people behind it
Stims is explicit about Ryan Geiss's MilkDrop, the original Winamp context, preset authors, and the broader preset ecosystem that shaped this space.
