Have you seen any work that Parker Ziegler has worked on? He has a couple of projects for automatic wrangling of visuals when it comes to charting data. Seems related, but also different approach to this area. https://www.thestrangeloop.com/2023/supporting-data-journali...

Holy shit its Gilfoyle. This is pretty cool but what Im thinking about is more like a general purpose language which is primarily visual. Imagine for example a for loop has a visual representation which shows a visual transformation from 100000 010000 001000 000100 000010 000001 and this transformation can be applied abstractly to 1 = red circle, 0= black circle, which when run shows a red circle moving from the begi…

I like your idea a lot. I think it's potentially a major missing piece to our systems.

I really hope you are able to map it out.

If you ever need a tester, let me know.

Also, I never noticed he looks exactly like Gilfoyle until you mentioned it.

I am working on a desktop TOTP manager app, because it's super hard to switch to phone everytime I want to login somewhere.

https://github.com/Sparkenstein/tautp

you can guess what it's written in, don't use it yet, although it works but I store data in plaintext for now, looking for cross-platform solutions to encrypt it but so far no luck. will be adding lots of features soon.

plus there's https://github.com/fosslife/devtools-x too

I grew 30 heirloom tomato plants to give away to friends and family. They're world-class seed varieties that aren't available through nurseries/retail[1]. I grew them indoors under grow lights[2].

After giving most away, I had 4 left, so I walked around my neighborhood, knocked on front doors, and offered them to neighbors (none of whom I knew). The first 4 who answered were all eager to have one. Also, they're all now acquaintances - we've either texted or emailed.
