Score: 5.3/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 7, Documentation: 3, Utility: 4)

Fractalysis is a browser-based Mandelbrot set viewer that achieves deep zoom using perturbation theory and arbitrary-precision arithmetic, surpassing double-precision limits. It's a polished port of a decade-old project, offering an accessible way to explore fractals without specialized software. The technical approach is solid but the niche audience and minimal documentation limit its broader impact.

Target audience: fractal enthusiasts, graphics programmers, educators
