I spent hours learning Swift and Metal to build a feature that is quite popular with millenials and gen z.

You don't have to use this feature, but the fact it exists in an open source, consumer facing mobile app is quite unique.

I wasn't able to find any free/open source implementation, so I had to build one.

Let's not shame devs who build popular feature implementations, just because you don't use them.

We should be better than that.
