The author is excited about improving the coding experience by combining live-reloading with sensible controls, inspired by Bret Victor's experiments. They have created a Codemirror 6 extension that allows users to interact with arbitrary values using mouse clicking and dragging, and are exploring ways to integrate this with their in-house game library Kaboom for live visual feedback. The author has also created a template that demonstrates the possibilities of this approach, including features such as color pickers, snippet bars, and image insertion. They invite others to experiment with the template and adapt it for other projects, encouraging users to create fun images, animations, and generative art using Kaboom Draw.
