I went to the site, felt puzzled, watched the video, decided it was probably satire, then went to the comments here, and now I'm not sure what to believe anymore.
It seems to be a fast way to create Celery Man[1]-type GUIs. You can put gifs, mspaint clones and clocks into windows and move them around. Thats... neat, I guess. Does anyone have some more context of why this exists? Real-world use cases? Is it actually in use somewhere, or is it a tech demo? Or is it satire after all, and they just managed to balance it exactly at the point where I couldn't tell?

- m-ee 5y agoI love the term celery man-type GUI and do like that I have an easy way to make my own cinco identity generator now. I've only watched the demo video, but a large portion of my last job was a) tuning devices with serial data streaming to a custom made live plotter b) analyzing tests in jupyter notebooks c) sharing that data. An easy to use, standardized live plotter and a way to share charts and analysis beyond emailing html/pdf versions of the notebooks or copy/pasting the graphs into a powerpoint both would have been very useful. It seems like this might fill one or both of those needs?
