I just want to say "thank you." I run Magic Lantern on my Canon 5D Mark III (5d3) and it is such awesome software.
I am a hobbyist nature photographer and it helped me capture some incredible moments. Though I have a Canon R7, the Canon 5d3 is my favorite camera because I prefer the feel of DSLR optical viewfinders when viewing wildlife subjects, and I prefer certain Canon EF lenses.

When I hang out with programmer friends and demo Magic Lantern to them, they are always blown away.

This seems like it's in the vein of Superhuman -- it's just 10x better, but you pay for the privilege.
I found this review of how it can slot into someone's workflow -- https://amontalenti.com/2019/11/04/work-is-a-queue-of-queues .
Seems like you're making at least one person very happy!
