Finally got around to implementing a #spinor toy i had always wanted. the geometry was already in place, but i couldn't have done the UI without claude.
What you get is a left and right spinor that you can act on with Lorentz transformations (Spin(1,3)) but also a bunch of other things that just let you have fun with the spinors. i happen to have a touchscreen on my laptop which makes the controls really fun to play with.

A very cute #spinor that everyone is familiar with is a clock:
start at noon, rotate the hour hand 360°. you're back at 12h but now it's midnight! You need 720° to return to the same time. -
Another #spinor toy to give a visual intuition for 2-state quantum systems like an electron or a qubit:

Maybe a #spinor- rather than vector-based approach to interpreting clifford algebra could be called gyrometric algebra rather than geometric algebra 🤔
EDIT: or chirometric!
