That's really great.

I know it's polarizing but I truly think that visual programming remains an entirely unexplored area. I'm convinced that the current state of "text" programming is totally ineffective and in fact we are the last domain producing things with computers which still insist in being limited by the text files in folders abstraction.

It's a shame that in 2024, I still have to search for text in files like it's 1970, guess which file does what based on the dozen of characters of the file name and can't see at a glance which other files are dependencies or uses.

I can't "see" my entire codebase, zoom in and out, I still have to guess the relation between some line of code and another in another file.

My ideal IDE of the future just allows me to see all my codebase like a big fractale.

I was under the impression that there were potential positive-energy solutions to this problem that don't require antimatter: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1361-6382/abe692

In my experience, enforcing log-in for for this kind of consumer product done for the sake of security, rather than user hostility. Internet connected hardware on a home network is a very attractive attack vector, especially if commands are unauthenticated.
