[2023-10-02] GUI Team Demo Day

[wdanilo]

I was working on website. Notable changes:

1. We have now nodes and component browser, fully animatable. I did not yet connect James filtering algorithm, but I will do it today.
2. There is a new "animation engine" allowing animations to run without user scrolling. These animations are automatically revertible and they can automatically run faster, e.g. after user scrolls the web page up fast.
3. I'm working now on argument pop-ups and node connections. After that's done, we can just add nodes and animations with "single line of code". This should make the website showable this week.

Planned work:

1. Finishing these animations. They already took too much time, CSS sucks so much sometimes.
2. Integrating with website pricing and chat – some help from E-Hern would be greatly appreciated.

Last week I was fighting various build issues (recent rust-analyzer not working with the project anymore, gui2 broke run watch, and apparently cleaning all local caches was a bad idea).

Still working on a few issues with the old IDE:

• Create and edit nodes in temporary ast nodes with execution context disabled #7779 – under investigation, blocked by QA issues.
• Make the code editor editable again #7844 – almost fixed.

Finished support for group colors in gui2. Now we generate oklch colors, and also support fallback to sRGB in case the browser is not supporting fancy colorspaces.

• Add automatic generation of missing group colors #7902
