And the reason I like it is because it's so ephemeral that you, you sketch this thing. And then, And 45 seconds later, the steam is gone. It's like it's not there anymore. So it's like this perpetual idea board where I don't have to erase anything. It doesn't matter. There's nothing that's that's precious about it. It's just temporary. Just like the shower. I'm not in there that long.

I'm 10 minutes, 15 minutes, whatever, screwing around like great. So I'm like, how can I, but there's something about the white noise and the temporal or temporary nature of it that I like and the removal. So I had this idea to basically have an iPad app. You launch it, steamy shower.

immediately just steams up okay it doesn't launch steamed up it launches clear and then steams up within a second or two to kind of have the effect if you put on headphones you're going to hear shower noise so you're going to hear like water you don't have to have headphones you don't have to use the audio part but if you do you're you're in the shower very relaxing and you just draw

And it fogs back up. Perhaps I wouldn't, V1 would be, that's it, you're done. If you like something you drew, take a screenshot. There's no like save, it's just, that's it. It's a perpetual refreshing sketchboard, basically, made of fake steam. Now, you could imagine there's a setting somewhere where you could change the steam, re-steam duration or whatever. But no, don't want any of that.

I love, like, what's the simplest possible version of this? Load it up, steam, draw, goes away, you're done. Like it, screenshot it. whatever, put on headphones, there's sound. If you don't, there's no sound. Maybe there's sound without headphones. I think it'd be cool though, if it only worked with headphones, like it wouldn't just play through the speaker.

I don't know if that's even possible, but it'd be kind of interesting to really have to feel like you're really in it. So that's another idea. Again, based on these, like the simplest possible version of something is always really interesting and entertaining. The reason I started building this was someone I'd hired an iOS developer. And frankly, I'd like to still do this.

So if someone out there wants to do this with me, let's do it. I'd like to do it. The thing we ran into was simulating. It has to be good. The steam part and the feel of running your finger over it. And sometimes you get a few drips and sometimes you don't. I want that to be so realistic. And I feel like I need to work with someone who knows how to render things. stuff realistically in that way.

Um, and, um, personal is working with shoes. Great. But like it just, it, we didn't really get far enough and that was, it just kind of faded away, but I'd love to do this. I'd love to do this cause I want this to exist in the world. It'd be free again. Um, I'd call it like shower door. I don't know what the hell we'd call it. Um, shower sketch or steam, steam, steam wand.
