> Screensaver — Ambient coding display for your workspace
A coworker years ago screen recorded themselves coding something, then made it their screensaver. Then would just let the screensaver make it look like they were working when they wanted to goof off. This would be prefect for them.
Finally some external tooling to justify my microcommit habit. (They will play in order here, presumably, instead of the top-to-bottom per-file playback of large commits).
is it able to actually discern the order in which the code was written? would be cool if not to augment it or create a parallel to to actually track this in the manner the code author actually did to write the code - I wonder which functions he/she went to, how he/she wrote code, how long they paused to think, and even what they were thinking!
that's a nice idea. i wonder if applying a bit of ai summarization / grouping logic could help present changes in logical sequences regardless of time or file proximity
would probably also make sense to add quick review actions in place - like ask a question to the gitlogue tool or the author during the playback
How is it more helpful for debugging compared to just looking at the git patch? As far as I can tell, this is meant to be more of a cool presentation type thing, rather than something to assist with development
Yeah, sounds like something I'd use along with Gource for presentations - gource is great for "show off our progress in the last year" in a Very Visual way (without actually being all that useful, but sometimes you need some non-technical visualizations.)
Pretty graphics and visualizations help people understand things because humans aren't LLMs. The web didn't have to evolve past having one font, black, on a white screen, but it did, because people aren't robots.
I don't mind live coding for students, but it often diverges a bit, I'd rather stick to what's on the repo I prepared with atomic commits.

Really nice - thanks for sharing.
