alt Hacker NewsI have a working fully 3D glyph based text rendering system I can't seem to get people to look at.
It's this. Every character is a 3d placed quad, instanced rendered, so you get tens of millions and then some. They are individually addressable and mutable like any polygon. I use it to render entire GitHub repos in one go. I have two versions, native Apple and web. Web has the basics of an ide setup. Would love insight or thoughts.

Is there a reliable way to pan around? Middle click + drag doesn't pan if my screen is covered by an object, it just moves the object itself. Scrollwheel pans up and down but I can't figure out how to go left and right. The minimap is too coarse - when I'm zoomed in close enough to read any text, very tiny movements of my mouse on the minimap pan around massively, too massively to be useful.
it opens source files in an unreadable small size, presumably to fir the whole file into the window. i can zoom in, but i can't properly scroll around or select text. and i don't see the benefit of using 3d here. it doesn't seem useful.
looked at it. I don't think it works, as the other person said.
I opened and it said to use a repo tab. There are no tabs so I pushed a button. It had a list with Linux so I clicked that. It redirected to a 404 page on github and I gave up.
I don’t know what this is supposed to do, let alone how to use it. But I looked at it for you!
