It reads more like mysticism than a serious claim of novelty, chill out.

> a new type of graphing called "fuzzy graphing"

> For all the history of computational mathematical visualization, graphing equations has been done in binary mode

These are very concrete, non-mystical claims. But do you really think "mysticism" is better here?

  • The first app that lets you type in an implicit curve and get a graph of its level set is a very different claim from "For all the history of computational mathematical visualization, graphing equations has been done in binary mode".

    The millions of brightly-colored fractal posters adorning walls in the 80s are a very clear counter-example to your claim.

    Your app is cool and the visualization is neat. The hyperbolic claims of originality really detract from that.

  • To be fair, yes, there are some places where non-binary graphing has been done (like error gradient graphs in AI), but as far as I know, this is the first app where you can type in a basic x/y equation and get a non-binary graph.
