Hey HN! I've been working on this idea for around 9 months and want to know your opinion on the concept and the experience.

I came up with it when I moved in with my girlfriend and we had a hard time making our small studio work. In Cona, you can draw your floor plan with real dimensions, scan your room, or pick from a template, then design it with real items. It's free and there's no sign-up to try it. I wanted to build something that helps people like me actually live in the space they want: for me that was a proper home office setup that works in a tiny room.

Want to know what you think. Thank you! I'll be in the comments answering questions about the tech behind it for the next few hours.

It's very slow in my computer. Is there an option to reduce the quality of the graphics?
We scale quality off measured framerate, but clearly the floor isn't low enough on your hardware. That's a miss on our end.

If you don't mind sharing: GPU and browser? And was it slow from the first frame, or did it degrade over time?

We had a manual quality selector before we shipped auto-scaling, and pulled it on the assumption that automatic was strictly better. We will get it back to tools in the next deploy.
