Keep building and keep sharing. My personal interest in this domain is to build a small screensaver & graphics toys demo pack to share with friends. Trouble is how to share it these days. Asking someone to download a desktop app might be too 90s for most. A browser extension? A website? I would love to help inspire the wanderlust that computers and the internet provide.
I love it. Screensavers are special to me and I've been building some custom ones for myself this year. Sadly the windows bubbles screensaver this is imitating no longer has its original beauty. Microsoft now fully covers your screen with your accent color before starting the screensaver, so no more desktop image effects work.
What a fun project, thanks for sharing. I've dreamed of projects like this. What did you expect to learn from this project? Did you learn anything unexpected?
I love the spirit here, but the limitations on iOS are not the limitations of the medium. Mobile computing has lots of interesting and inspiring limitations, we don't need apple to draw artificial squircles we can't cross in an api.
If youtube is to be believed, thumbnails make a dramatic difference to first-glance engagement. A model trained to find great(by what metrics?) screenshots from the film sounds like a fun project.
I've had it running for a long time and it's more surprising to me to accidentally here the default ding when I'm away from my home machine.
