I’m curious why I don’t hear more about mattercad here or elsewhere? It’s free (not FOSS), and for me really fills the gap between tinkercad and most professional cad software. I often see questions about people wanting to move beyond tinkercad but being intimidated by the learning curve and the fairly large jump between it and higher powered software. Mattercad fits so nicely in this space. Yes it’s a bit slow once shapes get more complex, and it has some frustrating bugs that I don’t think will ever be fixed, but it’s both powerful and simple. I’m curious if there are places people think it falls short or if you think I’m wrong and there is a better intermediate software package I should be considering?
It is amateurish. That’s what I’m going for though.
So this post is just you self-promoting your proprietary platform in hopes of getting people to use it?
Yes. I’m getting paid huge money to do this and I figured Lemmy would be the place to start.
It’s not about making money, I don’t give a shit…, it’s about being dishonest with intentions and motive. Not disclosing if you’re promoting your own shit makes you no better than any of the cancerous influencers on other SoMe.
I’m not saying they aren’t involved with this project, but I’m not seeing any indication that they are. What is making you jump to this conclusion? (Their last comment was obviously sarcastic.)
Their answer to the other comment regarding the website strongly suggests it is their site
If I was looking for a home/DIY Cad software, I would be looking for one with an amateurish feel too. I don’t need professional features like flow and thermal analysis. That’s how I interpreted that comment, and I share their sentiment.
Edit: After re-reading the OP, I definitely don’t think it’s their software. Comments like “it has some frustrating bugs that I don’t think will ever be fixed” and “is [there] a better intermediate software package I should be considering?” contradict that assumption.
