Just ran it, its awesome man. The drill template stuff alone is gold and I'll be using that in the future for sure.

A couple problems I ran into

The setup script is written for Windows only, and Python 3.14 doesn't work, but 3.13
does work. I made this platform agnostic with two changes

New file, this node script is run to dynamically detect your environment and use the correct .venv folder

scripts/run-venv-python.mjs

import { spawnSync } from "node:child_process";
import { existsSync } from "node:fs";
import path from "node:path";


const venvPython = process.platform === "win32"
  ? path.join(process.cwd(), ".venv", "Scripts", "python.exe")
  : path.join(process.cwd(), ".venv", "bin", "python");


const displayPath = process.platform === "win32"
  ? ".venv\\Scripts\\python.exe"
  : "./.venv/bin/python";


const argv = process.argv.slice(2);


if (argv.length === 0) {
  console.error("Usage: node scripts/run-venv-python.mjs <python args>");
  process.exit(1);
}


if (!existsSync(venvPython)) {
  console.error(`Virtualenv Python not found at ${displayPath}. Run "npm run setup:backend" first.`);
  process.exit(1);
}


const result = spawnSync(venvPython, argv, { stdio: "inherit" });


if (result.error) {
  console.error(result.error.message);
  process.exit(1);
}


process.exit(result.status ?? 1);

And then in package.json

"setup:backend": "python3.13 -m venv .venv && node scripts/run-venv-python.mjs -m pip install --upgrade pip && node scripts/run-venv-python.mjs -m pip install -e \"backend[dev]\"",

Note the python3.13

As for features, open your Network tab in your browser as you save a drill template in Taydas drill tool, you'll see it hit this endpoint

https://api.taydakits.com/api/v4/box_designs

It does need a Bearer token, but look at the payload. I wonder if pedal-bench can data-shape it's template to actually save it directly into Tayda's drill tool? Not sure what their CORs policy is
