If it's easy to add new distributions, it'd be nice to have Neal's funnel, even if only in 2D. The density is given by
a ~ normal(0, 3)
b ~ normal(0, exp(a / 2))
where the normal is taking a scale parameter (std deviation). The funnel is originally described in this paper:
- Neal, Radford M. 2003. Slice Sampling. Annals of Statistics 31 (3): 705–67.
P.S. Thanks for producing this---I direct people to the app all the time.

Neal Funnels would be awesome. I also direct a lot of students to this app all the time.
