Phloem: Git history grown like a slime mold

Was delightful to watch llama.cpp explode with a bunch of sorta familiar names (the Unsloth folks were involved super early!)

https://phloem.stemdeck.app/?repo=ggml-org/llama.cpp&t=36

This looks really cool from the demos, but I put in one of my open source repos and it seems to only pull in ~33 commits before it hits what I assume are per-user limits. Looks very cool [0] but can't help but think it'd look way cooler with the other 1000+ commits.

Is there a way to supply some credentials to grab the rest or something?

Runs locally and gives you some additional control.

Here's a project of mine (1500 commits) visualised in gource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szhYhph4C2U

My command to run it is:

gource --key -e 1 --auto-skip-seconds 1 --max-file-lag 1 --time-scale 4 --seconds-per-day 1 --highlight-dirs --dir-name-depth 2 --multi-sampling --user-friction 0.1 --font-size 20 --caption-size 20 --viewport 1920x1080

I'm at about 3000 commits now but I'll probably wait to render out a new one half way through next year after I get back onto the project and finish another chunk of changes.

actually I'm a big fan of source, used this guy since the beginning of times :)

I love the track, I got Heartbeat Drip, where can I find it? so damn good, Shaazam didn't find for me

EDIT: https://audio.stemdeck.app/audio/heartbeat-drip.mp3

EDIT2: awww man I love all tracks who's behind them?! I want to add them to my library

The mp3 link is blocked by Cloudflare for me.

My guess based on the web design and the name of the song is that it is probably made by Suno.

Blocked for me too. If you want to hear it open a a phloem repo url and click play in the lower right corner.

e.g. https://phloem.stemdeck.app/?repo=kubernetes/kubernetes&t=1

yeah I noticed that shortly after sending the link, and yeah it may actually be just a Suno generic one but it is so cozy haha ... gave me spa vibes

Go to your Network Tab if you're on Chrome, then find the mp3 request - right click it and "copy as cURL" - then paste that into your terminal.

Not suno :) I was a chillout trance DJ on my previous life ( 20 years ago or so ) so this is one of my tracks that that I rebooted with my wife :)

I won't lie, I can tell that every single one of those tracks was a one-prompt Suno generation, and I hate every one of them.

that's fair, I didn't like them for artistic expression of an individual, I think I wanted to hear them in a long sauna session in the spa lol

Sorry to disappoint you but those are my tracks :) it was tempting to use suno to get the result fast but I paired with my wife to create those tracks ( we both have musical background )

yeah I dig this tribal forest heartbeat organic vibe too

I like this track more than the visualisation. I'd listen to this on repeat if it was on Youtube Music.

That's me actually, I just didn't wanted to drop then on GitHub so I went to r2 storage :)

https://phloem.stemdeck.app/?repo=torvalds/linux&t=1 more like fireworks!

Another good one is k8s: https://phloem.stemdeck.app/?repo=kubernetes/kubernetes&t=1

  > GitHub rate limit reached before anything loaded

looks cool but i wouldve like a clearer delineation of what's data and what's eye candy.

i uploaded a 2mb log from a local repo and i guess it was the wrong choice. an early subfolder to root had like 9000 files in one commit. everything else kind of got drenched in the noise from that

FYI: This automatically plays music on my phone. Not a great thing at work!

Why is your volume up at work?

Of all the questions I didn't expect to encounter today, this was one of them.

This is the kinda pointless and largely meaningless but very fun to look at stuff that I enjoy. Sad that it's also written by AI but it gave me a good chuckle when I looked at some of the projects I was involved in.

Can we make it work on top of some kind of Git clone inside browser local storage to work around the GitHub api limits or something? I think I hit those.

beautiful
