I could imagine the interface being similar to what we have today, but with it being much better at taking in full descriptions of what you want. If you want pictures of teddy bears, it could provide search results and AI generated ones. If you want programming answers, it could link to StackOverflow or just give you an AI generated answer with an explanation. Perhaps I am looking for a lively bit of free music to add to an indie game - it could generate that too.

I feel that this will eventually end search as we know it, but it will hurt the sites that are behind the search results far more than it will hurt Google. Google (or Bing, ...) can become the one-stop-shop for so much more than it is today

For those not aware of what message brokers are, there are many to choose from such as: Mosquito, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, Solace... If delivery over HTTP is a requirement, many of these brokers support delivery over websockets or (in the case of Solace) also support long polling.

One thing that helped me was to invest in building simple libraries and tools that I would commonly use to make the automation faster. One such one was a script (called super-script) that would build the skeleton of another script, prompting for all the command-line parameters that I needed for the script and including all the command-line code that would convert the parameters into an easy to access data structure. This script would also prompt for help text for the params and create code to print that out when `--help` was fed into the output script.

This did two things:

  1. made the new script easier to write

  2. made the new script *MUCH* easier to share

- can't select menu items with pen

- an undo button on the hotbar would be nice

- a way to control the return to select mode after drawing a shape - I often want to draw a few boxes and then connect them with arrows, but having to keep hitting the shape select is a bit painful

One feature request would be that if I start typing when a box or circle is selected, it would put text in that object. I realize that this might be difficult with hotkeys, but I use that feature in Visio all the time and I love it for quick diagrams.

Next best would be if you select the text button (or '7') when an object is selected, it would insert the text in that object.

From the console I see this each time I try to draw a line: Unexpected value NaN parsing x attribute. react dom.production.min.js:23:234 Unexpected value NaN parsing y attribute.

I would love to get some constructive criticism on whether there are any interesting ideas with how this works.
