- capableweb 4y agoWhat's the alternative? Bunch of rows where you connect things by selecting in/out in a dropdown? Some problems are just complicated and visualizations help make it easier to understand. More complex audio routing than "application > audio out" tend to be one of those problems.
- chris_wot 4y agoThings should be as simple as possible, and not simpler.
- kaba0 4y agoI think a directed graph is probably as intuitive and close to the truth regarding streaming audio/visuals that it is a very good mental model to have as an end user. Also, it’s wide spread use in e.g. blender and other professional video editors do make me think that it is a great abstraction.
- bluGill 4y agoPeople have simple problems don't need to visualize the graph, the automatic connections just work. However there are people doing a lot of complex things. When i'm watching YouTube I.don't open the graph, but when i'm recoding audio I do as then I need to control where each connection is going, and the whole setup is very complex
- anthk 4y agoBeOS/Haiku was like that.
- mnd999 4y agoSo what? It’s a dead OS that nobody uses.
