Added a video for SoM reviewers inside the demo (or here)!

It's also funnily hard to capture these on camera, you have to play around for a while to get the settings right. In real life you can totally light up a whole room with it at maximum brightness though, not as much as a lightbulb but enough to clearly see objects, it looks amazing irl, I wish it was easier to convey this through a camera. A runic matrix like this on camera suffers from Moiré a lot (google for it, it's interesting as hell), and they work by displaying an image every small portion of a second, for our eyes it looks static but in reality it's going on and off lots of times a second so if you tune your camera wrong, you can sometimes see half the image or even no image at all despite it being there if you look at it in real life, funky effects.

As for what I did in this hour in Hackatime, I added Ctrl+z undo because it's been bugging me, polished a few things and tried to draw Hatsune Miku, that went horrible though, no, no, no don't post iTT NAAWW-

I actually developed the majority of it in 3 days working non-stop on a weekend, due to a tight deadline before the hardware parts arrived so I could actually work with them. That was kinda fun ... (no it was pain), but it's all worth it.

Backstory

I made the entire project for my college lab this Spring. Right now I'm mostly just publishing it + doing a little bit of polish. A friend also minorly helped me out in places as well, though he was pretty useless... The whole Tauri app ecosystem is very young, and it's actually really interesting to develop apps for it, although with that comes an immense amount of jank to things being very early in development (mostly for mobile), I already made a few things with Tauri so I've used it. Vue has been my favourite UI framework until I finally decided to try out Svelte, and I used Vue for this one, it's still a very nice and intuitive framework, great developer experience.

My whole development is kinda very shortly documented in the #how section of the Github readme, check it out!

This project is an app, available on Android, Windows and Linux, and requires a hardware part for its full functionality.
The app is developed using Vue, because Vue is nice, and made into a tiny and really fast app with Tauri.

Here's a video I sent to my mom at 3 am when I made this
