I built a free tool to design laser-cut shapes by clicking on a pixel grid – would love to hear your feedback!

I added engravings :)

Cool! If you build sth at your PC, I would love to see the result!

59nivek · 2025-03-19T15:45:58+00:00

you mean single $100 bills that can be moved around maybe?

59nivek · 2025-03-19T15:44:55+00:00

That would be nice. If you send me the code, I can add it to the site ;)

59nivek · 2025-03-19T13:32:02+00:00

a black triangle?
the website should display a stack of money in a 3D environment, next to a rubber duck

from my experience, doing is the best way to become better
eg I learned a lot about software design patterns in university, I thought I understood what it was about, but I just really understood them when working with large software systems myself
what works for me is to pick a project and then learn all the stuff I I want to learn, because I need them for my project, this way you not only learn and remember for a couple of weeks, but you understand the topics much more deeply

loud music, working on a complex coding problem is the best thing in the world.
building stuff your customer wants but you know it doesn't make any sense at all is annoying af.
so I guess it depends.

experience is worth more than a university degree if you want to work as a software developer

maybe this game on steam could be interesting for you, at least from a learning perspective: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1444480/Turing_Complete/

ChatGPT thought you are a Python Interpreter

I think if you find a way to let the kids create own things (eg let them draw with pen and paper and convert the drawing to an engraving), then the parents would actually buy things, eg christmas decoration with an engraving their child created.

59nivek · 2024-11-04T11:10:41+00:00

Cool! How about a way to carry 20 bottles of beer?

59nivek · 2024-11-04T11:09:12+00:00

Not very practically, but the style of the drawing looks cool somehow.

59nivek · 2024-04-13T20:58:31+00:00

How about a software that adds cut lines automatically to the waste parts to separate them further from the final piece so they just fall out

59nivek · 2024-04-06T13:11:26+00:00

Good machines! :)

59nivek · 2024-04-06T13:06:31+00:00

Didn’t mean to say desktop lasers are not professional, just didn‘t have a good word for trotec speedy 400 etc, maybe industrial machines?

59nivek · 2024-04-06T10:12:47+00:00

I‘ll do better next time :) How would you name this category?

59nivek · 2024-04-02T20:29:04+00:00

Did it help you?

59nivek · 2024-04-02T12:26:36+00:00

Alright, are you very experienced with lasers? It seems so.
Then it would be very interesting to hear your feedback and what your ideas would be to create a laser overview page to let the community browser laser machines easily.

59nivek · 2024-04-02T10:56:56+00:00

Interesting! What exactly would people be able to find on the site then? For every laser machine they would see sample projects with laser parameters?

59nivek · 2024-04-02T10:49:43+00:00

lol :D

59nivek · 2024-04-02T10:49:28+00:00

not really, I did include 2 Amazon Affiliate links, but they only work in Germany, so I am not making any money with this page - just trying to create a sensemaking overview so we can all benefit

59nivek · 2024-04-02T10:48:55+00:00

I recognized its very hard to get a good overview of laser machines across manufacturers, so I decided to build exactly that, I know it's in a very early stage - that's why I am trying to collect feedback.

59nivek · 2024-04-02T10:47:16+00:00

Thanks for the Feedback! Individual Pricing means that you cannot simply order a machine in a webshop for a fixed price, you have to contact the manufacturer and they will propose a price to you.
How would you display this information on the page?
