Accidentally Building a GitHub Parasite: A CLI Dependency Manager for OpenSCAD
- solderlocks 4mo agoI wanted to view a .scad file on my phone without downloading it. Two months later I had inadvertently built a browser-based parametric customizer, a recursive dependency crawler, and a CLI package manager for OpenSCAD, all running serverless on top of GitHub's infrastructure. The OpenSCAD community has been downloading huge zip files and manually tracking dependencies for years. This is a small step toward relieving that pain. The whole thing costs $0 to run and is open source (GPLv3). Would love feedback from anyone in the 3D printing or open source hardware space.
