Show HN: We made Arcad, a parametric CAD in the browser, free and no signup (app.arcad.studio)

6 points by steinvakt2 1mo ago ↗ HN

My friend and I have been working on Arcad for some months now. It's a free browser-based parametric CAD tool aimed at hobbyists and makers.

It has editable feature history, solid modeling powered by OpenCascade, STEP export and touch controls for tablets, although it's primarily made for PC use. Everything runs in the browser and you can try it without creating an account or installing anything.

Currently in beta although we feel like it's ready for a full launch. Any feedback is appreciated!

Nice but why in the browser. This is very bad decision - software is not a web page. I should not depend on internet and servers to use my tools, and what I create should stay on my machine only until I decide otherwise. Decisions like this reduce freedom step by step for all humanity!
