Neat example of the strengths and weaknesses of vibe coding… But if anyone here is looking for a solid browser-based parametric CAD solution, [onshape](<a href="https://www.onshape.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.onshape.com</a>) is the best there is. It’s missing a few tools that more complex alternatives have but if all you need is something easy to learn so you can make things to 3d print it’s a good choice

Vibe coded? Nothing works.

Why is right/middle click both orbit and pan? Why is scroll wheel vertical orbit? This feels like it was vibecoded using a macbook touchpad

Nice UI. Pretty cool to see a CAD program in the browser, without even an annoying login to try screen. On the other hands it seems to be pretty choppy and I was visual artifacts about 5 seconds into the tutorial. I got the same artifacts in Zen and Chrome.

And now you know why CAD is hard.

This seems to have the same weakness as OpenSCAD, no relative positioning.
