This is really cool! All the best with this

Is it though? Looks and feels like AI slop on openscad
utopiah•1h ago
Indeed, and what worries me is that it might pull resources away from OpenSCAD or similar projects for something that, I imagine, won't be maintained.
utopiah•1h ago
How does it compare to OpenSCAD, bitbybit, JSCAD, FreeCad, CadQuery, Curv, implicitCad, libfive, RepCAD, etc?

I mean it's nice that it exists, I guess, but there are already quite a few project (my list here isn't exhaustive) that seem (on the surface at least) equivalent beside the input format (YAML, but maybe some support that, I don't know).

So I don't want to imply that this has been vibe coded just to avoid searching what already exist, why they exist, why they don't support one specific feature... but still now that we are in this situation, namely 1 more item on the least, how can we compare it with the rest in order to know which one to use for our own needs?

There was a time people took pride in writing high quality software.

On the other hand, this is an example of a new category of tools: things made by individuals scratching an itch, that wouldn't have been made otherwise because the barrier to entry was too high.

There will always be a need for high quality human-reviewed software, but I think we should celebrate this too.

And other people have always churned out low-quality software that solves a problem they have in a specific way. This is just sort of accelerating

Instead of spending half a day learning CAD basic, let's rebuild the worst version full of bug! Yays!

Also, there is an easy to learn basic cad. It's called Tinkercad.

Ah, bye!
