  1. Excuse me, dumb question coming up: Is Singularity dead? Didn’t get an update in a looooong time. :/

    1. Simgularity’s release version has not updated, but they produce “nightly” builds with more recently features and capabilities. I don’t track “nightly” / “test” style builds because it can get a little too involved.

      1. Their last Nightly was 8419, Feb 14 2021, so exactly one year old by now. 😐
        Usually I get updated automagically via the Arch User Repo, but as I mentioned, nothing happening on Singu’s side. 😦

  2. Hi, Inara. I would like to suggest you keeping an eye on SpeedLight (www.speedlight.io), as it is currently going under some major remodeling and adding a new Unity 3D viewer that should be released soon. As it is web-based, it can be used fairly decently on mobile devices (it offers apps for them as well).

    1. I do keep a watch on Speedlight and have reported on it is the past. I do, however, find it doesn’t run as smoothly as it once did on my Android devices (both pretty good systems with a min of 4 Gb RAM, decent CPU / GPU combinations and both on Android 10) either in app mode or via a browser. Similarly, It doesn’t appear to be happy running in my Chrome-based Win 10 browser. All of which makes testing and giving an honest option on the more recent updates somewhat difficult.
