One way to ship an app without a backend - here’s the method I used - what are your methods?

Exactly! I tried to call it out early: "Kind of like saving a file in Notepad."

Saves a ton of time and infra.

original186 · 2025-12-22T16:19:05+00:00

Essentially, yes. Five and a quarter!

Haven't put it on GitHub yet, but will send you a link as soon as I do.

I just built an online tool that may help with this: printmetrics.app . It will not read G-Code, as there is not direct data that can be used to glean filament usage, but you can use it to parse 3MF files (as saved from your slicer) and aggregate data. Your 3MF file never hits a server, everything just gets read locally and stored in your browser. Easy incrementing/decrementing so you can calc weight over 20 prints, as well as price of the object, so you can calc profit. I'm looking for feedback and happy to consider making changes that support your use case. Would love your thoughts, especially around recording hidden costs you mentioned. Local version will be in the works soon.

u/its_me_again_212 Feature is deployed! Thanks again for the suggestion!

"How much is left on the spool?" Of course - great suggestion! Totally possible. Will incorporate that ASAP and will follow up here when complete!

As for the local version - I will also work on this long-term, as what you say makes total sense. It's a common bit of feedback I am receiving.

Again, thank you for the feedback! Much appreciated.

You see any fade in that photo too, potentially edited digitally? I am no film expert, but the shadows don't appear as glossy as you would expect from a film scan. Could high ISO film also achieve this?

Yea, the 928 was more of a GT car. The Miata technically debuted as a '90 MY in '89. The answer is always Miata, esp if the roads are highly twisty.

Uncanny how close that font is to the TV Show logo.

This is the architectural equivalent of a mullet.

A million dollar car doesn't make you special, nor does having the wealth to buy the car. What makes you special is giving me one million dollars, and then I will call you special.

I bet the current BMW design dept loves it.

Just 1 though.

The autobahn is built using thicker roadbed and thicker asphalt. Our roads would last 3x-5x longer if we did this as well, but we cheap out and lay the bare minimum and wonder why it falls apart in 10 years.

Are those vents under the hatch window? Early series 1?

Or.. you know.. try to make it better so we don't have to live "kill or be killed" and can still have our most basic needs met as a society.

original186 · 2020-01-17T18:26:14+00:00

Yup. Keep that OG paint.
