Timelapse of canvas experiment

Experimenting with recording timelapses. Niri has this neat dynamic cast target feature, though right now it's triggered by a hot key and i kept forgetting to switch it.

Computer emulator that shows data and code at multiple levels. From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_6pZ_sT3y0

Ghost

Capture the difference between two moments in time at https://ghost.constraint.systems/


Experimenting with playing slightly time offset stacked videos. To what purpose I'm not sure.

Blocks and menus

Starting to enjoy the feel of this.

Canvas controls

Experimenting with putting controls and info on the canvas - with some reciprocal scaling to make it more readable. Needs some more finesse but interesting so far.

Reworking the Sampler UI

LLM date picker

Made a new video talking through how an AI-assisted date-picker shows some of the challenges of building an AI application.
