> Whenever I go to an art or craft fair, I’m struck by the feeling that in a different world there would be a market for ‘artisanal software’ - with varying ratios of utility vs. aesthetics as the other arts and crafts have - and with independent software craftspeople selling interesting apps. I recently watched the 5 hour cut of Until the End of the World (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Until_the_End_of_the_World https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Until_the_End_of_the_World), which is an early 90s movie set "20 Minutes into the Future" (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TwentyMinutesInt...). Some scenes depict some interesting software that might be kind of like what you're talking about, though it's probably just a case of a "Viewer Friendly Interface" (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ViewerFriendlyInterface https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ViewerFriendlyIn...). Still really entertaining, though.
