Knot a Film

We love maps with lines and dots,
X marks places, paths, and spots.
But scrolling movies? No fun at all—
Just endless choices in one long crawl.
What if movies had a map?
Pick a path, tap, tap tap!

My map special, I decree.
Need not worry, you will see.
Every mind’s a garden bright,
tended gently, growing right.
See the shape and you will find
a little mirror of your mind.

Knot a Film is an application for visualizing the rotten tomatoes movie dataset more like a map. The project is migrating from traditional SwiftUI to a metal graphics pipeline
