I spent 15 years developing a tool to make sense of software version numbers

Out of curiosity, what's the difference between this and semantic versioning[0]?

Yeah I tried to watch the first demo video, but it wasn’t clear to me the problem that this solves and why this is better than some alternatives. It really needs a 60 second elevator pitch.

I don’t know how versions being coordinates in space helps me solve any of my problems.

It would help to explain this in writing. Short few sentences summary explanation “like im a child”.

Otherwise it looks like a complicated solution to an artificial problem nobody care about. With all due respect.

The short, 3 minute, demo [video] is from 2022, the longer explanation video is from 2021.

For the people less inclined to watch a 28 minute explanation video, do you have a text overview of your idea as well?

Tl;dr would be nice, as others mentioned. I could see using a variant of the concept to visualize code changes. Have a circle divided into pie slices that represent however you organize your microservices, packages, components, modules or classes. Then distance from the center represents time or reverse time. You could then quickly see changes over time, which areas of the codebase is affected, etc.
