A video editor without a timeline
Every time I make a video I ask myself, why does this take so many steps? And why is it almost the same steps every time? So I made a video editor. You type in your video like a blog post, and the app turns it into a full video
A 3D version of Brian Eno's deck
Oblique strategies are hints to push you out of a creative block. You take a card from the deck and do whatever it means to you. This is a React-three-fiber version.
