LookAtThat VS Smithereen

https://github.com/tikimcfee/LookAtThat

View, search, and analyze arbitrary source code (best support of Swift right now) in 3D and AR space. You open your phone or tablet, yeet hundreds of files into 3D space, and can start highlighting, moving, and tracing execution by literally walking around your code. The desktop app has similar features, and the standard 3D viewer is just as fun.

I would love help - from anyone of any kind - to build this out towards greater usefulness. It’s a lot of fun, it’s super cool to look at, and it’s the thing I’ve wanted to use since I was a small child.

“Let me touch the words!!”

I feel like I’ve been spamming this everywhere and any time I get the chance, but I really want people to join in and help define this experience with me for developers.

AR VR for iOS and macOS. Millions of glyphs. Instant control. There’s magic here. If this excites you, work with me and help make this a reality! I don’t have all of it in me.

I wish I did. I don’t. I don’t have all the time and energy. But there are people here that if they spent just a little time to work on this, we would be in the future of a 3D code space in days, and not weeks or months.

I owe a new readme for the project. If any of this makes you feel any feelies, get in contact with me star it, make noise, whatever!

Lotta love to yall. Thanks for letting me vomit words.

I have this mostly working for Swift by thread and execution tracing matched to syntax analysis in https://github.com/tikimcfee/LookAtThat.

You can record app execution, and then play it back thread and line and by line to see each line executing in time. It’s kinda fun to see millions of lines flash and highlight and move at 60fps and seeing implicit relationships between executing files and high level functional flows

If I may be so bold as include something I’m working on myself, I’d love to chime in! I’m not functionally complete, but feel like I’m writing an amalgamation of all of the above tools.

In my project[1], I convert all user-uploaded images to high-quality webp and store them like that. I discard the original files after the conversion. I use imgproxy[2] to further resize and convert them on the fly for actual display.

I don't do videos yet, but I'm kinda terrified of the idea of putting user-uploaded files through ffmpeg if/when I'll support them.

They do, or rather not old Facebook, but old VK: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen

As a bonus it's an ActivityPub enabled application, so any specific instance of it requires less work to get the network effect going. :)

A Facebook-style ActivityPub server. Has wall posts, groups, and events.

Not yet "ready" — 1.0 would need much better moderation tools, photo albums (with tagging), discussion boards (in groups), and a client API. Direct messages are a work in progress right now.

I myself use it daily for my participation in the fediverse.

Unfortunately I don't think it fits any of the projects I work on (and I don't use VSCode to begin with, never had it installed, bit I do see an IntelliJ plugin as well).

I have one project that's a server application (https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen), but since it uses lots of custom stuff on top of the Spark micro-framework, your plugin would probably not work on it. I imagine it does expect projects to be structured idiomatically for the framework they use, at least to some degree. Spark also doesn't know anything about databases, so that is all custom as well. Oh and I also hacked it a bit with reflection to allow streaming responses.

I'm building a fediverse project that aims to fill this exact niche. It's basically a recreation of an early-ish version of VKontakte (Russian Facebook) but federated. It's not really ready yet, and there are lots of important features missing, but I do use it daily for my primary fediverse account.

I, too, am sick of all the existing social media companies trying their damnest to cater to the entertainment use case no one ever asked for.

I'm building an ActivityPub thing of my own: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen

It's not quite ready for mainstream use just yet, but I'm getting there. The next update will improve moderation tools by a lot. One after that will, at last, add private messages.

Well, for one, fediverse is a thing, and I'm doing my part

I know of Smithereen[1] that is an attempt at a full fledged social network similar to VK on top of the ActivityPub vocabulary.
