So I’m familiar with what their other apps do. I read the readme many times. I still wonder what “web content“ means. Apparently it’s media. Maybe it’s a headless browser that can capture inputs and stream them?

Re reading the readme and trying to figure out what each discrete part does made me realize it feels like if ChatGPT had designed a generic, non descript product, and made a readme. It’s got a file that tells me there are things in it. The code does stuff. This is definitely what a product looks like to a human.

Philip K Dick described that to see information is to be consumed by it. This feels exactly that way. Presented with something that has just enough meaning to feel “figure out able“.
