A very good list. You should add https://github.com/nchudleigh/vimac to the list. It works similar to shortcat but I found Vimac to be more performant and reliable.
I used to use vimac (https://github.com/nchudleigh/vimac) when I had macbook. I was pretty happy with it. I liked its interface. Its interface was inspired by Vimium extension on browser.
There are browser extensions which make it easier to debug grapgql. A new pane is added to the browser debug panel. Last I used them more than two years ago, it was still not as good as the built-in network tab for rest queries. Still better than the default for the graphql queries.
An interesting use-case could be localized haptic feedback on the screen. You could rotate a knob or push a button on the screen and get a localized sound and haptic feedback from the item on the screen.
You may even add haptic texture on the screen. close your eyes and scan the screen with your finger. It would feel like a series of mechanical switches and knobs. It would be useful for people who don't like using only the screen in their car because of lack of haptic feedback.
No, that's not really the problem. You can implement branching of a sorts in analog, but branching isn't a very useful concept here.
The strength of digital is that your logic is implemented as information instead of physical pieces. Your CPU contains all the hardware to perform any operation, and your code is what directs the flow of information. When you get down to bare basics, the CPU is a pretty simple machine without much more complexity than a clockwork mechanism. It's an extremely fascinating subject and I very highly recommend Ben Eater's breadboard CPU videos on YouTube. But I digress.
The real trick is that digital computers are general purpose. They can compute any problem that is computable, with no physical changes. It's purely information that drives the system. An analog computer is a single-purpose device[0] designed to compute a very specific set of equations which directly model a physical system. Any changes to that set of equations requires physical changes to the machine.
[0] general purpose analog computers do exist, but generally they're actually performing digital logic. There have only been a few general purpose true-analog computers ever designed AFAIK. See Babbage's difference engine.
