Thanks man!
I would love to build this eventually to a real product so am not currently considering open sourcing it.
I can give you a free foreverlicense if you would like to be an alpha tester though :) - but am considering in any case for the eventual non-commercial licenses to be affordable&forever.
IMHO what the world needs is a good textbook on how to build CAD software. Mäntylä’s ”Solid modeling” is almost 40 years old. CAD itself is pushing 60-70 years.
The highly non-trivial parts in my app are open source software anyways (you can check the attribution file) and what this contributes is just a specific, opinionated way of how a program like this should work in 2020’s.
What I _would_ like to eventually contribute is a textbook in how to build something like this - and after that re-implementation would be a matter of some investment to LLM inference, testing, and end-user empathy. But that would have to wait either for my financial independence, AI-communism or my retirement :)
Fair enough. I was asking mostly because it looks like the current demo is Windows only. I'm trying to de-Windows my life before I'm forced onto Windows 11 and I imagine multi-platform support isn't a high priority for a personal project. I do wish you the best of luck though.
Yes, it's Windows only (mainly because testing multiple platforms as a solo dev is above my stamina).
Thank you!
