I am working on ShopSpec (https://shopspec.io/), a tool for designing bookshelves and cabinets. Enter the dimensions and it generates the parts, cuts, sheet layout, and build steps.

I built it because I wanted to spend less time drawing boxes in CAD and more time building them. Still early and I'd love feedback from other woodworkers.

This is super cool.

Bed frames might be a nice category to add as well :)

I have wanted to build some custom bookshelves for an oddly shaped room I have. Any plans on adding bookshelves that aren't rectangular?

    I would love to hear more about your oddly-shaped non-rectangular room.

    For now rectilinear has made things simpler; but on this kick now with 3d-printed jigs also derived from the spec. I already have a dog-hole system worked out and in-place with this idea. Could be interesting to extend to curves - becomes approachable/repeatable.
