I looked at CUE and lattices and I realize CUE fits right in with some other work I'm doing!

For now I made it possible to draw Hasse diagrams. That seemed like a fun way to extend the project. I did not add any CUE examples, that seemed out of scope but who knows, there could be some applied examples in the future.

I see that lattices are commonly drawn with straight line, but that is mostly historical (how it was done). I decided to allow bezier edges as well because, why not?

Hmm… I need to read around on that! Was working on a policy drift detection project but never heard of CUE before.

Thanks! Right, I asked Claude to write a ROADMAP.md and it was super long and a lot of YAGNI. I try to work much more intentionally but I got some great ideas from it.

I'm thinking first of my own needs and click/mouse handlers are definitely yes. It would be nice to enable popups when hovering over nodes/edges.

Haha! I haven’t seen anything from the onion in years. They kind of became irrelevant at some point :)

Halleluja!

Yes, the “digital version” that mimics the analog one. It was cute in the mid 90’s.

I want actual physical knobs.not sure what that would be called. Potentiometers?

My 2014 GLK is like this. Mostly, somewhat. Not getting anything newer until they figure it out!

But then you have to “draw circles” with your mouse?

At least everything is in a designated place!

That’s another thing I like about the analog world.

Yes direkt a 1:1 mapping of an analog (button/knob) would work better than what you describe.

Multifunction buttons… that never existed in the analog world? Or is that what is called “mode”? Send vs receive etc. Does anyone have a concrete example?

I’m not a remote control designer but I would think it would be fun to give it a try! Maybe I will :)

I often wish we had more analog control in the digital world. I wish there were turn knobs instead up/down buttons with 10 steps (where it is easy to accidentally leave a menu... When trying to get back to where you were, you are suddenly adjusting something else entirely). Manual control with digital devices has become too digital and too cumbersome.

It used to be easy to adjust contrast and brightness on a display, volume on an amplifiee, an analog TV, a termostat, a car radio, etc.

I realize that we are not really on course (yet?) for reintroducing a lot of analog controls, but in the end, our world is analog. Input is analog via speech, muscle motion, etc. Output is analog, via light and other vibrations that reach our senses. Why isn't control more analog? It's probably a cost thing.

I would totally buy a display or a laptop with analog controls. I don't even care if the turn dial actually has 16M steps, so long as the response is pretty much immediate and feels like a real potentiometer. It should feel like direct manipulation and like you're in control, instead of these digital roundabout abominations.

As to the subject, I imagine having some knobs that I can adjust under different circumstances to quickly vary intensity or cycle through alternatives in order to make things more readable or audible.

90% Of what we do is in the browser today. Browsers could have an "accessibility" API such that turn knobs (bluetooth? whatever) could be used for control. Like scroll wheels but on steroids?

This focuses on some aesthetic "features" and it doesn't even touch a large portion of all other problems. I won't even attempt but I'll mention one thing.

The part about Windows that bothers me most is that I have no control regarding how windows behave. I am typing and suddenly I am typing in another window! And there is no way to know what just happened. I could be pressing the ESC key while a window for another application just came in focus. Gone! The window and my text. WTF? Or it could be a window with a default button and I just pressed ENTER. Gone! What just happened? Impossible to know. DO NOT INTERFERE WITH MY FOCUS! If I am typing in a window, DO NOT EVER DISTURB ME. I am operating in a context. MY CONTEXT. Not Cortana. Not some app that wants to do something on a schedule because of some enterprise policy. I am working!
