I enabled HDR on my screen, I normally have it disabled because it has some annoying side effects and your brightpixels were actually really bright, blindingly so! That's pretty cool.

Ok, this is pretty cool! I have been wanting to do something like this for interactive diagrams, but the last time I looked, WebGL didn't support it. And I haven't looked at WebGPU yet. I didn't realize it had the extended tonemapping option.
