neppo··on Plan2Scene: Converting Floorplans to 3D Scenes
This would be an excellent addition to services like homebyme https://home.by.me/en/

It's quite a pain to do, having this automated would be a boon.

neppo··on Show HN: We've created a visual live-programming environment for .NET
Many years ago I did a just for fun project with vvvv, a virtual graffiti wall.

This involved a webcam that captured the graffiti input in form of infrared beacons and two outputs that were projected onto large projector screens - one for drawing and one to show the resulting grafitti to spectators.

I've been a text based coder all my life and had no experience with graphical programming before, but the ease of use and stability of vvvv was just incredible.

I would encourage anyone to try it.

neppo··on Android’s messaging mess is about to get even worse?
I use Vysor for Android, it comes with a few caveats:

- You need to have your phone in developer mode for it to work

- The free version has full screen ads that come up on your phone while you're mirroring it

neppo··on Android’s messaging mess is about to get even worse?
I use a screen mirroring program on my computer and have the phone hooked up to it. The program allows you type, touch on the phone from your computer, copy and pasting between the systems works fine too.

So I only really need to use the phone itself to type when on the go.
