This is really cool. I'm interested in getting into 3d printing parts to help with my wood working but I can't find the time to get productive in CAD software. Something like this feels like it might tip the balance into having a 3d printer actually save me time instead of becoming another black hole of tinkering time.

It's a nice demo and appreciate the guides on what won't work well. Also pretty nice to be able to try it out anonymously without having to sign in.

It'd be nice to have some info on how it's substantially different from something like https://github.com/earthtojake/text-to-cad (besides from being hosted). Is there a 'document' format you're working with besides from being able to export to stl? Can we download that / continue our work with another editor if we need to make updates? I guess how far into production parts is this project aiming to go?
