Is there a live demo anywhere? Is it possible to deploy a demo locally to try it out?

What if I tend to import STLs from thing verse and modify them? IIRC STLs are triangular meshes. Would bRep programs like build123d able to "convert" them to "true geometric objects"? I would presume the answer is no.

Looking back at your build123d code, it looks like the biggest differentiator compare to OpenSCAD and CadQuery is the expressiveness to assign shapes to variables, right? I was able to check that box with PythonSCAD thus far, so that's

This was my impression with build123d and Cadquery. On paper they have a better abstraction than OpenScad. Yet, the code to express the same output is more bloated. I was never able to get over the yak shaving learning curve to be proficien

Thank you! I have seen your posts in the PythonSCAD subreddit. They have been very helpful!

Thankfully I have been able to do what I want to do without learning the complexity that comes with Build123d etc. Perhaps someday, but I havent had the need to get there thus far. Also: Encapsulation etc was achievable with Python, which i

I poked around with CadQuery and Build123D. The learning curve required a paradigm shifted in abstraction. That was too much. I just want OpenSCAD simplicity, but with modern programming language syntax. I ended up settling with PythonScad.

Hi there! In https://www.hytradboi.com/2022/how-to-query-almost-everythin... @ 4:15, you mentioned data modeled as graphs are equivalent to relational models. I can see relation models can be represented as graphs (e.g

Absolutely. There's more than one way to skin a cat. The "email digest" approach is basically DIY newsletter. While this approach works for me, it may not work well for others. YMMV.

One of my favorite hacks: I made a google appscript that scans a list of RSS feeds to email weekly digests. Surprisingly simple, and much more useful then running a separate RSS reader in my opinion. I have to confess: little automations li
