He can't win. People bug him to find out what software he uses. He says he wrote it. People bug him to release it. And then complain it is not properly documented or is unintuitive.
'A few hacks thrown together' seems awfully pejorative. It is a tool he has developed over the years to enable him to produce the high-quality videos he releases.
- GuiA 7y agoPeople don’t know what they want. Or rather, they conflate what they want with real things that are close to, but not quite exactly, what they had in their mind. They then get frustrated because it doesn’t match what they imagined the whole time... but nobody told them it was!

- hyperpallium 7y agoIt's different people making the different complaints. In general, you can't please all the people all the time. GP isn't a complaint, but constructive criticism. When we lose the ability to tolerate criticism, we lose the capability of progress.
- quickthrower2 7y agoIt's not that constructive though, just seems like a complaint.
- bosie 7y agoHow do you differentiate those two things?
- quickthrower2 7y agoTo me constructive means there is a suggestion of how to improve.
- bitforger 7y agoDon't get me wrong, I love his videos, and I think it's really nice of him to open-source the stuff. But like some of the other comments have mentioned, it's not a general purpose tool... it's more like he open-sourced his dot files. You can certainly make a few things work, but it would be nice to see a community of interested individuals come together to flesh out the abstractions, make sure everything is documented and works as advertised. As it is now, the class hierarchy is a little... misshapen. It's not clear what classes are responsible for what functionality, and how everything fits together in a nice, orthogonal way.
