cadhub VS Semblage

PS.: You may want to contact the guys from CadHub to add Fornjot to their list of code-CAD applications, and maybe take a look at the others I didn't mention if you haven't already. Also I must say that I'm not a dev of CadQuery.

Toothpaste Squeezer at Cadhub.xyz [n.b. cadhub.xyz allows you to edit/render CadQuery/OpenSCAD without installing anything on your PC, not how I do my development but very good for showing others models]

the link for this post takes you to a OpenSCAD model, worth noting there are integrations it CadQuery and JSCAD too.

Hey folks, We recently updated the CadHub homepage https://cadhub.xyz/. Why am I telling you this? Right at the top there is a "hero model" and atm it's a coffee lid and I don't think it's ideal as It's a bit of an odd part in the sense that I don't think it represents a typical CAD model too well. So I'm asking for submissions if anyone would like to have their model featured. I think what would be best would be something reasonably simple but not too simple if you know what I mean.

We absolutely want to add STL download to Cadhub. In fact since your box is hosted on Github, we actually want to build a Github integration/bot that builds and reproduces 3d artifacts with changes to master. But at the same time the customizer will be based on Github if so when you make changes to your repo the customizer will update too.

My usecase is I plan on making it part of https://cadhub.xyz/.

You can let me know your thoughts here, or on twitter, github or discord.

Super early days for me but I'm working on https://cadhub.xyz/, The idea is that it's a community sharing website for the code-cad community (think thingiverse cross codepen). I've got cascadeStudio working for the time being, but eventually, I'd like to add more. and this sounds like a easy way to integrate openJSCAD. (repo is here https://github.com/Irev-Dev/cadhub)an

Anyways, I've just written that to make sure you know that the "code-CAD scene" or "state-of-the-art" is not OpenSCAD (and I'm not saying you don't know that), and that the ideas you had are really great, but they have already been brought to existence in CadQuery, CQ-Editor (the editor + visualization + debugging GUI for CadQuery), and the (still incipient) Semblage, that started to implement the "hybrid" approach of code-CAD + GUI based on CadQuery. I do believe another code-CAD program won't hurt at all, and there is even the possibility of collaboration between Fornjot and CadQuery and possibly Semblage, but I wouldn't say the world needs another code-CAD program. The world needs first to know about CadQuery and then decide its real needs. I've just read your blog post of your criteria for CAD software, and I really think that (apart from the community part, that requires that the project is known by many people, which seems to not be the case with CadQuery) CadQuery meets them nicely. If there is something I'm missing please let me know, specially if you already knew about CadQuery but it didn't suit your needs. Anyways, good luck with Fornjot!
