Hi HN!

I really like Miro and similar tools for whiteboarding - and one particularly nice feature of those is that you can pan and zoom around the whiteboard. Zoom into something to work on it, zoom out, pan a bit and find something else on a giant whiteboard.

This tool aims to replicate that experience for the Windows Desktop - it gives you the feeling of unlimited desktop real-estate, implemented with a relatively short Autohotkey script.

It's a bit janky, but I use it daily; PRs welcome

This is beautiful, thank you! I always wanted something like this. My vision was to have a 3D joystick in my left hand to navigate the space. I'll run it as my daily driver and will try to contribute and discuss over at Github.

I like the idea of resizing and moving the windows to replicate the experience of pan and zoom. Pretty creative hack!
