Whenever I get free time I work on my 'abstract visual debugger' project.
I've been doing that since late 2014 though, so recently I'm trying a new tack to free up some time for myself: I've been building a little desktop utility with three.js + Electron + Rust, that I'm going to sell in the Microsoft store (eventually elsewhere too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-ANWHLvARM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-ANWHLvARM
I'll start beta testing in about a week--definitely excited :D I'll probably do a write-up of the project and post it here as well.
Edit: just fyi, 'Lucid Disk' is a placeholder name (my bigger debugger project I mentioned is called 'Lucidity').
- dh-g 7y agoThis looks nice, I use GrandPerspective for this task currently but your UI looks beautiful and useful.
- westoncb 7y agoThanks! I came across this kind of app for the first time in January (GrandPerspective, WinDirStat, DiasyDisk, TreeSize, etc.), and I've spent a lot of time thinking about/working on making interactive/visual trees in the past, so I really wanted to take a crack at making the best one I could. Here we are many months later and I'm finally starting to be pretty happy with the results. It's taken many iterations, but it is quite effective from a usability perspective now. I'm starting to put a little thought into what other kinds of hierarchical data it might be useful for exploring...
- halfjoking 7y agoNice demo. Now do it in VR so I can be Jonny Mneumonic! The dolphin could be included in the Premium Version.
- westoncb 7y agoHa! Hadn't considered that... I could see a VR version being pretty cool though actually. Maybe if it was set up sort of like a standing chalkboard where you can move freely in the room but walk up to it and manipulate things... Plus dolphins of course.
