What it does
Lapas is a nesting software that runs entirely in your browser - no download, no Windows lock-in. Upload DXF or SVG files, set your sheet size and kerf, and get an optimized cutting layout in seconds. Built for laser cutting shops, plasma tables, and sheet metal fabricators. Free plan with no credit card required.
Browser-based 2D nesting for laser, plasma, and sheet metal. Upload a DXF, get a cutting layout in under a minute. Free plan.
Production nesting software for laser, plasma and waterjet shops. 15 to 30% better plate utilisation than manual nesting, independently benchmarked, from DXF to cut-ready in minutes, in any browser. True-shape nesting packs parts 15 to 30% tighter than manual layout. On a shop buying $4,000 of plate a month, that is around $900 back every month. Manual layout costs a good operator 3 to 8 hours a week. Lapas nests a typical job in under a minute and leaves him free to correct by hand where he wants to. DXF in, DXF out. Lapas does the layout; your existing CAM keeps posting to the laser, plasma, waterjet or router. No post-processor lock-in. Desktop nesting suites run $5,000 to $20,000 a year…from lapas.io

- IMI'm building an app to replace Overleaf and Notion2025 · ▲82
Hi HN, Since 2019, I’ve been working on a writing platform designed for creating complex documents (e.g., theses). I personally use it for everything as it also allows to classify documents in categories so you can organize them efficiently. As of a few months ago, the app is also available in the browser, and you can now invite coworkers to collaborate on a document in real time. The app is somewhat inspired by LyX. It offers an intuitive, modern editor, but users don’t need to know any LaTeX. When it’s time to export, they can choose from a range of templates (IEEE paper, thesis, etc.). A…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
