Like CantorDust by Christopher Domas@Batelle?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bM3Gut1hIk really blew my mind when I saw it.

Btw. about 8 years later they finally delivered, by releasing it as plug-in for Ghidra! Yay!

I believe CantorDust was the direct inspiration for our code (I wasn't exactly involved in the editor project though, so hard to call it "our").

The moment you mentioned "CantorDust" it was like a giant lightbulb filled with memories of discussions :)

Does that have the 3D visualizations shown in Christopher's 2013-2014 talks? Both the github readme and the associated blogpost from July make it look like it only includes 2D visualizations. There are fewer "view" buttons on the right toolbar than the demo had. I should answer my own question by simply trying it out, but I'm not quite sure when I'll have a moment to get around to it.

I don't know. Just discovered it because I searched for the link to the video I had in mind.

edit: Hrrmpf. "Zu früh gefreut/rejoiced too early". Scanning the git repository it doesn't look like it would.

But can't/won't install/test it atm. Maybe over the weekend :(
