This would be an excellent addition to services like homebyme https://home.by.me/en/

They have a feature where you can put a floor plan and then retrace it yourself manually with walls, doors, windows etc.

It's quite a pain to do, having this automated would be a boon.

Many years ago I did a just for fun project with vvvv, a virtual graffiti wall.

This involved a webcam that captured the graffiti input in form of infrared beacons and two outputs that were projected onto large projector screens - one for drawing and one to show the resulting grafitti to spectators.

I've been a text based coder all my life and had no experience with graphical programming before, but the ease of use and stability of vvvv was just incredible.

I would encourage anyone to try it.

Re:Android’s messaging mess is about to get even worse? on Saturday October 26, 2019 @04:42AM (#21362547)
I use Vysor for Android, it comes with a few caveats:

- You need to have your phone in developer mode for it to work

- The free version has full screen ads that come up on your phone while you're mirroring it

Re:Android’s messaging mess is about to get even worse? on Saturday October 26, 2019 @01:40AM (#21361933)
I use a screen mirroring program on my computer and have the phone hooked up to it. The program allows you type, touch on the phone from your computer, copy and pasting between the systems works fine too.

So I only really need to use the phone itself to type when on the go.

For collaborating on the code look at the Visual studio code feature called live share, which allows you to collaborate in real-time [1].

I've tried it and it worked well.

it's not a bug, it's a feature!

If not, the update will fail.

The buttons are only there because it would be too expensive to remove them.

I guess turning them into something useful is out of the question when there are not enough funds to remove them

This is the so called red zone, here are some pictures about it: http://imgur.com/gallery/CdxZM
I guess the tactics is to initially propose something ludicrous. After the expected public outcry they scale back on it and get something approved that is not as far reaching - but far enough for their purposes.
