JermCAD – A YAML-powered, vibe-coded, browser-based CAD software

I had a hard time figuring out CAD software like Fusion, OnShape, etc., and decided to go about making my own CAD modeling software that I can "program" my models similar to how I think about them in my head. I used Cursor to write like 95+% of this, giving it my YAML examples and making it implement the actual code to make those work. Currently 100% self-hosted, and it is just a static HTML/CSS/JS, so it might just work without running npm at all. Very few features working currently, basically just modeling a few primitive solids, and boolean operations.

    FluidCAD – Parametric CAD with JavaScriptApr 2026 · fluidcad.io · ▲160

    Hello HN users, This is a CAD by code project I have been working on on my free time for more than year now. I built it with 3 goals in mind: - It should be familiar to CAD designers who have used other programs. Same workflow, same terminology. - Reduce the mental effort required to create models as much as possible. This is achieved by: - Provide live rendering and visual guidance as you type. - Allow the user to reference existing edges/faces on the scene instead of having to calculate everything. - Provide interactive mouse helpers for features that are hard to write by code: Only 3…

    Parabola.io – Automate your work with visual programming2018 · parabola.io · ▲291

    Hi HN! I’m Alex from Parabola (https://parabola.io). Parabola is a visual programming tool for creating functional data flows that everyone can use. It’s entirely drag-and-drop, handles data sizes much larger than a traditional spreadsheet, calculates everything live, and can run your flows on a schedule of your choosing. I used to work in strategy consulting, doing data analytics for SMBs and Fortune 500 companies. The amount of time wasted on menial tasks was astounding. Things like cleaning data, generating custom reports, creating human workflows to solve shortcomings in third…

    DiffCAD, a FreeCAD workbench to review model changes like codeMay 2026 · github.com · ▲7

    I'd like to share a new workbench I've been working on called DiffCAD. Coming from a software engineering background, not having the ability to properly diff my CAD model changes was driving me crazy. This project scratches my own itch, and maybe someone elses', too! I'm open to feedback, ideas, and contributions. Cheers!
