Color me a bad reader: what does this mean? The abstract pretty much leaves me in the abstract.

Having spent fair amount of time on inf.architectural position, I’d really love these tools to also adapt some sort of markup. Sequencediagram.org being perfect example (and others alike) where it takes seconds to put a diagram that otherwise takes hours to prepare. Sadly I know of no standard and lightweight markup for E/R modelling…
Mermaid is good for flowcharts, but we still lack reasonably good one for BPMN and enterprise diagrams. (BPMN.io is great but lacks its own lang)
What about plantuml - covers a fair bit of ground!
I have a lot of praise for using Memray as part of working out some memory kinks in a codebase I’m working on. It allowed me to quickly iterate on some hunches and then enshrine the resulting memory savings in tests via pytest-memray.

Other spreadsheets solve this by updating references if you need to add more columns and rows (or at least they try). Is the additional complexity of the infinite grid something that customers actually need?

If you doing it locally only, I don't see the difference from make that will just keep your old .o files.
If you using it distributed between different developer, how do you make sure the cache result is secure? A shared cache where everyone can contribute to is really hard (impossible?) to make secure. Someone could add malicious code the cache that then everyone will use.
To combat this scenario, we only had build servers populate the cache. Clients were readonly to the cache, so they would benefit from anything that build servers had already built, which covered 95%+ of what clients usually had to rebuild.
Also release builds were excluded from caching, to prevent any form of poisoning there.

Took me 5 mins to figure out what "Geometry Dash levels" are. Should probably link to the game and show an example screenshot in the README?

It's amazing how we are repeatedly going full circle: we managed to stigmatize a completely natural farting sound (you are in a bathroom so the smell is contained), and then come up with "solutions" to feel free to produce the same sounds.
It took me a while, but I've convinced my wife that farting is ok, and that you should only worry about subjecting others to lousy odours, and even that only when you are visiting someone or some place (indoors). Closing the door usually resolves this. The stigma is especially bothersome with a naturally shy toddler who wouldn't take a dump anywhere but home.
FWIW, music does not stop people walking into smelly toilets, but to each their own. :)
The product likely even makes sense, I just find the phenomena curious and sometimes infuriating (like with my toddler).
My room was next to said bathroom with rather thin walls, so I always appreciated the sound at least be a bit played down by the music.
Another side effect was that you always knew when the bathroom was in use (aside from someone forgetting to turn the light off, which you now had radio playing to remind you off).

https://loodio.com - A smart device for bathroom privacy
I built it for myself because I just hate not having privacy living with my girlfriend. Then some other people enjoyed it and I made it into a product that is launching on Kickstarter soon.
My parents just had the radio hooked up to the same circuit that was driving the bathroom lights. You enter the room, turn on the lights and there was instant audio. Makes sense to put this into a product.
