We need a npm style package manager for all the awesome blender plugins out there. There are couple of projects started by folks but we need something built into blender.

Pretty sure there’s been one built into blender for over a decade.

I think I have a problem. On the one hand, I love how this looks and I would really like to learn how to use these tools and produce beautiful stuff. I think I even might be good at it. But on the other hand, it feels like a waste of my time to be producing graphical stuff, which in the end is only superficial. I'm torn!

Creating art is rarely a waste of time, even if it never finds an audience.

This is 100% true, it's just that I can't get over the idea that since programming is more useful while creative at the same time it seems a better pastime than designing graphics.

Sounds like you might be interested in the best of both worlds - programming some graphics! Maybe check out things like shadertoy and libcinder -- I find these relaxing ways to program while also having creative graphical output.

I'm somewhat of a total noob in programming and I've glanced at shadertoy many times because it seems super cool but math seems to have a lot to do with it so I feel intimidated quite a bit. A friend linked me the bookofshaders but haven't touched it.

If you have pleasure doing this, then the time is not wasted even if nobody ever sees your artwork except you.

Thanks so much for sharing! I mostly got it to work and it may be useful for my current project!
