Is “space as an interface” a viable model for developer tools?

XCTBL³ Space is an experiment in treating infrastructure as a place, not a dashboard.

Instead of isolated tools, systems live inside a shared environment:

  • Identity persists across tools (stars, not accounts)

  • Navigation is spatial (you move between systems)

  • Tools are real and usable today (accessibility repair, browsing, verification)

  • Narrative exists, but nothing is gated behind it

I’m curious how this lands with builders:

  • Does spatial navigation help or hurt comprehension?

  • Is persistent identity across tools useful, or just conceptual overhead?

  • Where’s the line between “memorable interface” and distraction?
