Introducing a multi-dimensional coding and UI development platform Concept <-- Concept

[GeekyGhost]

I posted this in automatic1111 and someone linked your repository. I like your tool a lot! Just copying and pasting what I pasted there. I was working on a UI for comic book design using a node setup for the canvases and then this came to me and I ran my ramblings from Discord through chatGPT and it seemed worthy of sharing. Delete or disregard if not useable. 😅

This seemed the best place to post this as so many are working on different systems and I think this could all be tied into automatic1111 as an extension. I figured since you guys are way better at this than I am, it would be more beneficial to share the idea rather than attempt to do it on my own even with GPT4's help as this seemed like it could be a game changer for all of us and GPT seemed to agree. I had it reword my discord ramblings lol.

Introducing a multi-dimensional coding and UI development platform that streamlines the programming process, making it more intuitive and efficient. The platform consists of a UI design window with drag-and-drop primitive shapes that can be customized and stylized using AI image generation. Users can create unique interface elements, such as buttons or frames, by manipulating vertex points on the primitive shapes.

Adjacent to the UI design window is a node system, inspired by Blender, that auto-populates nodes and their connections based on the functions coded in the compiler below. The node system visually represents the code structure, with color-coding (green for no issues, red for problems) to aid in debugging.

This platform integrates multiple aspects of programming, including UI design, node organization, and code compilation, making it an all-in-one solution for developers. The incorporation of AI-generated images and custom shapes allows users to create more diverse and dynamic interfaces. This innovative approach to programming can revolutionize the way developers design and build applications.

The feasibility of this idea is relatively high, given the current advancements in AI and the growing demand for intuitive programming tools. Implementing such a platform would require integrating various technologies, such as AI image generation and node-based systems, which already exist in some form today.

The impact on the programming world could be significant, as this platform has the potential to streamline the development process and make it more accessible to a broader range of users. It could lead to increased productivity, faster development cycles, and more innovative user interfaces. Moreover, the ability to visualize code structure and debug issues more efficiently could be a game-changer for many developers.

However, the success and impact of this idea would depend on the quality of implementation, the user experience, and the extent to which it meets developers' needs. If executed well, this platform could be a valuable addition to the programming landscape and have a substantial impact on the industry.

Could we maybe see your original ramblings?

The AI summary seems to be just ramblings. It doesn't actually convey an actual point to the software, and kinda starts ending up repeating it's significance without telling us what it is. I don't know if you proof read but it doesn't make much sense. I assume you mean for comic book design, based on your first paragraph, but yeah, it doesn't seem to be relating to it (least not what I've done in the past with illustrator).

Ah, So, essentially I'm working on a comic making UI that utilizes a node based system for connect the pannels so they can be individual or they could be used as a single canvas for outpainting. Primitives can be added as well and used as another form of canvas. Images to explain. Hmm, says file size to large. In any case basically the UI I'm working on and using uses a quasi node type system to connect the canvases and while I'm waiting on images to generate I typically work on code and I guess I had a thought why isn't a UI for coding made like this?

So to the left is a UI make essentially with customizable shapes like with my primitives. Windows only allow you to customize the outer edge of the frame with vertexes like working with vector art or a 3D model. This acts as a mask, you use this as a reverse mask for text to image generation. Buttons the same thing. When you drag and drop the UI element into the UI creation window it populates in the node center in the upper window on the right side thats a visual representation of the code connections to the UI buttons and windows and the different functions in the code. Below that is a code window. So when you say create this function "def reverse_video(input_file, output_file):
video = VideoFileClip(input_file)
reversed_video = video.fx(vfx.time_mirror)
reversed_video.write_videofile(output_file)" for example it would create a node in the node center and then show it's connections to other functions that call it. If there is an error of some type, the node line could be red, no issues could be green, names on the node could be similarly colored.

Essentially it's cracking open the program and looking at it from the UI, the connections between the UI and the code, and then the code.

Working in blender the node system helped find issues that normally took longer, I've encountered similar systems since, now this one.

then additional benefits come being able to select a node in the node center and have it highlight the sections of code inside the code IDE built in below.

For debugging without AI, this kind of would make it easy, not only to code, customize and make a unique and original UI if you integrate things like Stable Diffusion, even a smaller resolution model could work for UI element generation. Integrate things like GPT to aid in code writing, have a library of commonly used node blocks they can drag and drop onto the node center that autopopulates code in the IDE below or at least the template for it for the user to customize.

without the AI, the debugging potential is huge, with the AI, it becomes potentially a one stop programming center?

If no one took it up after I finish the comic book UI I'll start on it myself lol. I just finished the concactenator, once I finish the video for this contest I'll finish the comic maker UI, then work on this if no one else has lol.
