Lvery cute
Nit's a git GUI, not just a visualizer
Nthe idea is that you can cut the strings between the git beads then reconnect them to rebase
LCuuute
LOhhhhhhhh
Ncan unclip and clip tags for branches to any commit (which is actually how git works, the git guis all have it wrong)
Nand that's why I call it git bonsai
Nit's just a sketch for now but this is one of the first things asteroids should be used for
N@Luana this is ultimately what I want, for this kind of GUI to be an option for anything! that way people understand their computers intuitively by playing with the inner workings via a GUI that maps them directly to do things
Nit's like the first level of metroid
Nteaches the user to think in systems in a way
LOooooh
LIt’s so cool!!
LThat’s nice
LCan’t wait to open nixpkgs on bonsai
LIt’ll become a whole forest lmao
LThat thing is so convoluted
N?
Ngonna make a scrollbar for it
Nwhere the stuff either emerges or gets sucked into the pot
Noh whaaat that'd be cool to graph
LYeah!!
(Not cool at all when you have to try different nixpkgs commits until one unbreaks your system to try to find exactly the culprit tho…)

NNreally good article that i should remember to do more when i bash on visionOS and such
Nbecause it's got problems but they're not quite as bad as i make it seem in terms of "the user cannot use this thing well at all" like yea it needs context switches but that's not all doom, it's just a bit more friction to overcome (still makes the device useless in practice tho lol)
Nthe final conclusions i draw i stand by even thinking through it deeper
BInferring from LOS hand tracking is a pain, not least because it's LOS
NLOS?
Bline of sight
Nahh yeah
NvisionOS' real problems with gazepinch are midas touch and lack of contextually rich input
BI am partial to gaze cursor as a quick and dirty solution tho, it's darn fast
however
"you leave me no choice! I cast slightly-misaligned eye tracking!"

Nit's a generalized solution across all of 3D space that doesn't generalize well
Byeah :/
Nwhen you have heuristic-based input the best way to improve its accuracy tends to be to contextualize it
Ngot hand tracking where multiple controls could be tapped? change the controls to require different interaction methods and now it'll be harder to mix them up
Nthat kind of thing
BVery much yes
Since it wouldn't be too uncommon to want to doodle in fron of a window, for instance

Nthat's what comet does well
Nbeing able to just curl your fingers near the comet pen to make a pose like you're holding a pen to hold the pen
Nok bad wording but like
Nit's uncommon and extremely fast
Ni need better signifiers for it tho
Nright now stardust has a serious lack of signifiers for stuff
Nmostly because no custom shaders and limited geometry support (no blendshapes :(()
Ni'm not a graphics programmer haha
BI haven't fooled around with comet at all since it was a little broke when I did my big fiddle bonanza
BIs there any reason why custom shaders wouldn't work, or is it just low-priority?
Nbecause idk how to make shader code work properly lol
