Nice work, but how is this different from Shortcat?
The Mario Kart youtuber?

#42> Neverclick uses computer vision so it works in all applications. Ok, how does it use CV? This is not explained. Does it track eye movements? Do I need a webcam, or two?
My reading is that it uses CV to identify potential click targets on the screen.

It uses CV to analyze the pixels on your screen to detect clickable UI elements.

Presumably it captures a screenshot and then uses CV on the resulting image to "see" the application and identify the various things that you might want to click.

I think you can get the source directly from github, probably even a pre-compilled installer from the releases page in the github project.
You cannot. No releases and all the code files are "placeholder.cpp"
Why even have a github if you don't actually publish anything there. To suggest that you are trustworthy and associate yourself with open source or source available without having to actually do it? Planning to do it, but being ashamed of your code? I don't know, but I definitely find it strange.

#47Developing a muscle memory is the main aspect of keyboard usage. Does this app account for this? i.e. how repeatable are those key-shortcuts? Seems like it's random.
Neverclick dev here. It's not random, a lot of thought went into how the key combinations are generated and assigned. When Neverclick generates the key combinations, it prioritizes keys in the center of the keyboard. It then sorts the key combinations from most to least convenient (so for example JJ and FF would be at the top of the list). It then assigns the most convenient key combinations to UI elements closest to…
One interesting thing would be to have a certain section of your screen always start with the same first letter so you can already intuitively start typing it while checking the 2nd letter.

I wonder if blender works on wayland, because it has a feature that makes the mouse cursor "loop" across the window if you are dragging something.
The protocol for this has recently been accepted, now it has to be implemented by every compositor
That sounds like hell. All this just to set the X, Y of the mouse pointer?

Who is “you” in this case?

Wayland isn't an eternal punishment, it's just a protocol. :p
