      I just want to say "thank you." I run Magic Lantern on my Canon 5D Mark III (5d3) and it is such awesome software.

      I am a hobbyist nature photographer and it helped me capture some incredible moments. Though I have a Canon R7, the Canon 5d3 is my favorite camera because I prefer the feel of DSLR optical viewfinders when viewing wildlife subjects, and I prefer certain Canon EF lenses.

      When I hang out with programmer friends and demo Magic Lantern to them, they are always blown away.

      This seems like it's in the vein of Superhuman -- it's just 10x better, but you pay for the privilege.

      I found this review of how it can slot into someone's workflow -- https://amontalenti.com/2019/11/04/work-is-a-queue-of-queues .

      Seems like you're making at least one person very happy!

    • priyadarshyJan 2020

      This takes the idea of work being a queue of queues to the extreme: https://amontalenti.com/2019/11/04/work-is-a-queue-of-queues
