Examples guys. You are telling me a lot and not showing me. Get rid of the home page animation that does nothing and replace it with examples that show real world use cases, step by step.

Typed out an entire prompt on the homepage, hit enter, was redirected to sign-up & completed it.

My few hundred word prompt wasn't saved/persisted. :'(

Having dealt with similar problems on the implementation side it's incredible how in this day and age it's still so difficult to pass state through sign-in or sign-up.

Half of the reason appears to be how the Oauth 2.0 standard is written - it purposefully forbids browser-specific items like the hash fragment in the URL. For passing state you have the "state" field but, despite the name, its original purpose was to prevent XSRF attacks, not store data.

Vendor libraries don't go to huge lengths to help here, as they settle on complying with the standard.

Why not just use OPFS?

What if you're redirected to a different origin? Not a common use case, but it does occur when you e.g. have several services and select where to go in the sign-in form.

Ideally one should be able to pass structured state throughout, but all we have is `state` really.

Sure but the idea is that your content should be on the same origin after the redirect.

Requiring login after getting user input is a dark pattern.

This bad implementation of it makes it even worse.

I hate it with a passion and I will boycott services that do those inconsiderate things to me.

We just updated the product! now your initial prompt is passed by after you sign-up

True, but it's extremely effective at getting registrations, almost to the point that you're dooming yourself without it. Anyone and everyone uses it, big and small. Google can afford any random user to run a few queries before dangling the hook, but it's all the same.

Most dark patterns are indeed done for the benefit of the one who is doing them.

Same. Hated it so much.

Ux on mobile is very bad. First you lure me with a prompt, but when I type it it's lost and I'm redirected to login page. Ok, I signed up, logged in. On mobile the progress panel is 1cm wide, I didn't notice and I set the same prompt now I have 2 generating and no way to cancel. You (correctly) started title of this post with the word "generate" that is your core feature, everything else I see on mobile is unrelated bullshit, including the carousel, including the "choose your role" dialog. On mobile there should be prompt (50% of screen real estate), a generate button, output/progress (50% of screen real estate) and hamburger button that hides everything else.

The generation haven't finished yet, I will report when it finishes to see if core feature is even usable.

Mobile is tricky, since such design software are very difficult to use on a small mobile screen. We are looking into it though. How was the generation?

It's not tricky. I literally told you how it should look like on mobile.

Still generating, 53 minutes.

As a counter point, I would not like your proposed design.

Why would you use 50% of the screen space when you can have 100% and flip between prompt and render?

Whilst a valid complaint, I'd not even entertain a response with this attitude.

I've been doing a lot of 3D design in Codex GPT 5.5 (I found Opus 4.7 wasn't as good - haven't experimented much with 4.8 or Fable).

OpenSCAD is a parametric CAD programming language, and the models know it well.

The biggest challenge is communicating words like "inside" and "above" to the model - inevitably it's idea of which direction is which is often different.

I can't say I've done anything very hard, but for things like ESP32 cases, or parametric rod connectors it is great.

You can do things like "add snap connectors" and it'll do a great job.

Blog, youtube channel and landing page is kinda sparse when it comes to examples.

And I'm not going to sign up just to test it.

I agree with the other ones, have 20 cached examples or at least some videos that show the process from start to finish.

Tried two very open ended prompts: "Home robot" and "Jet engine". First one returned only two plates connected with 4 rods, second model did not produce any 3d model at all.

Curious whether some hierarchical modeling could be applied here.

Asked for a specific tool and got a tool holder? I hope this project succeeds but it's not ready for prime time HN.

Thank you for the feedback! we will consider them both for the website and the product. We have several examples in the product, we will push them to be present on the webpage

No you won't. This is just corporate soothing.

Show us the results. Don't talk about the future. Everyone can yield empty promises "in the future". That means nothing.

asks you to enter a description, and when entered, hits you with a sign in dickover.

It wants me to log in, so I am their product.

No thanks.

What was your prompt and what did you design.

I’ve tried Gemini (paid) in the past with openscad and then designed the same object myself and I was 10 times faster

Great! what did you design?

Not really.

Larp.

Like it.

Account created 7 days ago, post that adds nothing to the conversation. Flagged.

Not signing up if there isn't even a hero animation showing what it does.

I got enough feel from scrolling down. But only just. They need more demoage for sure. Good demo for AI IMO is do 50 canned prompts with cached answers running at simulated speed. Zero AI cost to demo and can be made available without login.
