I mean.. I’ve been doing exactly this for a while, and I fully plan on releasing something when I can actually find the time to superhero it to completion or find help.

This is very cool!

I was thinking of a VS code extension that lets me put files or directories “physically” on my desk. Itd be emulating the way that I read text books. Instead of keeping notes and bookmarks physically in the book I could drop sticky notes that represent files directly on my desk and show a preview by by just shifting my eye focus to the AR/VR note.

Wow this is an awesome use case I hadn’t thought of and it makes so much darn sense! In fact, the APIs include automatic plane detection, which means being able to look at your table, directly in front of you and “popping a note down“ shouldn’t be too terribly impossible! In fact I can see you doing things like duplicating snippets of code, and putting the scratchpad next to your monitor, your keyboard, or anywhere else you would stick a stickie. What a great idea, I hope you don’t mind if I ruminate on it some more!
