Larp.

Like it.

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.

amazing! what are you designing?

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

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. :'(

Double_a_92• 17 days ago

Same. Hated it so much.

Tade02• 17 days ago

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?

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.

filcuk2• 17 days ago

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.

OsamaAtwi5• 17 days ago

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

ricardobeat• 16 days ago

This pattern is for some reason very common in AI providers, and absolutely despicable.

55555• 17 days ago

It actually works pretty well.

OsamaAtwi5• 17 days ago

Great! what did you design?

shevy-java3• 17 days ago

Not really.

2muchcoffeeman2• 17 days ago

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

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.

OsamaAtwi5• 17 days ago

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?

dvh3• 17 days ago

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

Still generating, 53 minutes.

dvh3• 17 days ago

Update: on second try the generation succeeded, the output was hallucination, completely unrelated to the prompt. Useless. Image comparing what I wanted and what was generated: https://files.catbox.moe/kplzpk.png

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.

OsamaAtwi5• 17 days ago

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

shevy-java3• 17 days ago

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.

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.

2muchcoffeeman2• 17 days ago

Can you share prompts and the output? I’ve tried building fairly simple models and it doesn’t grasp that I am building a solid object.

nl2• 16 days ago

It's not one prompt, but here is a parametric rod connector:

  Use SCAD and design a connector for square rods.
 
  The rods are 18.2 mm square. I want to connect two end-to-end.

  make if the bolt holes are created optional for each side - I want to set them separately. Make them M3.5 countersunk

  it's the +X or -X sides I want to turn the screw holes on or off.

  on each of the 4 sides of the connector add additional connectors at 90 degrees. Make each optional

etc etc

wojciem• 17 days ago

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.

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

felooboolooomba• 17 days ago

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

shevy-java3• 17 days ago

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

No thanks.

dhumph• 17 days ago

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.

xpct• 17 days ago

Would be curious to hear from folks who do modelling:

My first reaction from seeing the examples on the page, is that they are somewhat simple, almost standardized, or come from templates. They also don't look very time-consuming to model yourself. The product advertises itself on the parameterization aspect, but my hunch is that practitioners have their personal library of models which can be rescaled without much work. Is that somewhat accurate?

alden5• 17 days ago

Unless I know I’m making a ton of variations of a model I’ll usually start from scratch every time. Maybe I’m blinded by my own experience but describing unique geometry with just words seems so much harder than just using regular cad. I design fixtures on a manufacturing line for a living and so I spend most of my time turning people’s ideas into 3d models and nobody can explain what they need with just words. People definitely try to explain what’s in their head but words aren’t enough for anything more complex than the examples on the page above. I always need to see a physical demonstration in person or a napkin sketch.

I had a lot of fun with https://github.com/tomasf/Cadova

A library/toolkit for the Swift programming language to built parametric 3d objects.

Give Claude access to the docs and examples and you can do amazing things.
