• was able to create more finalized designs for IDE.
• also tried coding with CadQuery for the first time, very fun!
• doesn't feel great about purple share boxes, will take another shot at them this week.
• will work on building a beginning sketch of details view which be default if user doesn't own a part
• will also work on the home page animations discussed over this week.

  • Kurt mentioned a useful Viewer menu items might be showing the current camera state, for future ability to include as project metadata.

Kurt Hutten

• fixed a silent bug that was breaking email verification for 2 weeks
• got more colors and updates to the IDE
• read a blog post Jess Franzelle about the history of mechanical CAD, making basically the arguments of everything working on
• writing a blog post inspired by it
  • there is a company called ReTool for internal tooling, thinking about "the right level of abstraction"
• just opened an issue with CadQuery about a cup
  • JW says two major sources of errors will be version mismatch and brep to mesh conversion

Jeremy Wright

• has settled a bit of the tech stack for sharing usable CadQuery projects pretty together, will likely be adding OpenKnowHow manifest to the braille project
• Semblage is doing alright, the Python and Godot layers are still pretty decoupled, will need a lot of unit testing. Trying to find a more direct to pass around meshes.
• Did start another project, the assistance switch previously discussed, will use CadHub for it.
• ended up getting a clean print, but very finicky experience printing, had to disable z-lifting after drying his filament.
• will eventually get to diagnosing why CadHub's versions
