  Instead of spending half a day learning CAD basic, let&#x27;s rebuild the worst version full of bug! Yays!<p>Also, there is an easy to learn basic cad. It&#x27;s called Tinkercad.

  &gt; Important Note: This project is almost entirely vibe-coded and likely contains loads of bugs. Use at your own risk!<p>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&#x27;t have been made otherwise because the barrier to entry was too high.<p>There will always be a need for high quality human-reviewed software, but I think we should celebrate this too.

      Scratching an itch with a rusty nail risks tetanus.

    &gt; There was a time people took pride in writing high quality software.<p>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

  How does it compare to OpenSCAD, bitbybit, JSCAD, FreeCad, CadQuery, Curv, implicitCad, libfive, RepCAD, etc?<p>I mean it&#x27;s nice that it exists, I guess, but there are already quite a few project (my list here isn&#x27;t exhaustive) that seem (on the surface at least) equivalent beside the input format (YAML, but maybe some support that, I don&#x27;t know).<p>So I don&#x27;t want to imply that this has been vibe coded just to avoid searching what already exist, why they exist, why they don&#x27;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?

  This is really cool! All the best with this

    Is it though? Looks and feels like AI slop on openscad

      Indeed, and what worries me is that it might pull resources away from OpenSCAD or similar projects for something that, I imagine, won&#x27;t be maintained.

  If it is browser based where&#x27;s the browser link?? I wish there was a downvote button for submissions.
