"Live" Gaussian Blurs
There's a reason Control Center acts like Notification Center (i.e. freezing the screen), but I still want a "live" updating view without all the image nonsense.
Without CAFilter being part of the public API, finding a performant way to do this is not likely to yield anything useful. Even Apple limit their own CAFilter usage for this exact reason.
It's even a challenge on the mac. CIFilters are meant to be applied to an image or a layer, but they create a strange frost effect that doesn't actually blur anything when there is no actual image. I think there should be some kind of redraw loop with a user defined sample limit.
