I had considered doing that.
But I think it'd paint a false picture. In the half a year of developing the app, and me being mostly concerned with correctly implementing the voting algorithm and understanding the math - when reading Wikipedia and what is outlined in Weyl's book, it wasn't obvious that fractal votes can be used.
As a single tech freelancer working for a federally-funded exhibition hall, I wanted things to be correct. So I stuck to the script (aka the most credible sources accessible).
I've added the footnote in the article linking to a Reddit post where someone claims having talked to Weyl about fractal votes and that he positively reaffirmed it [1]. Anyone could comment that though.
But from a mathematical point of view, it isn't trivial (at least for me) whether fractal votes represent the same system as is currently laid as "quadratic voting".
Sure, if I end up completely understanding why fractal votes are mathematically equal to natural-numbered votes, I'll do as you suggested.
