A full-featured 2D + 3D CAD application built in Rust with GPU-accelerated rendering. Native DWG & DXF read and write, paper space, ACIS solids, dimensions, layouts. An open source community project by Hakan Seven, recognized and promoted by the OpenAEC Foundation.

    Probably because it’s not a self hosting project, and it also appears to be almost entirely vibe coded. When asked about the former, OP also claimed they didn’t read or care about the community rules, though it does appear they’ve since added the ai tag.

      Oh yeah… yeah, it doesn’t seem like it’s client/server or anything. It’s just a CAD program?

      Doesn’t fit this at all.

      I dunno if it fits the “vibe coded” label though, as it appears to work well. I tend to apply that to quick hacks, or to projects where the devs clearly have no idea what they’re doing (and end up with something really bloated and janky, yet hyped a ton).

        To quote from another thread about this program:

        Claude directly has over 1100000 lines of direct code contribution. It has pretty much the same amount of code committed directly as the creator has.

        His entire coding history before Claude consisted of changing readmes or searching and replacing project name text or modifying a dead link to his own link.

        Suddenly in 4 months, without ever producing actual code before, he becomes a very competent coder enough to tackle mCAD, a notoriously difficult coding task that takes many many years with teams to make meaningful progress on?

        That is vibe coding.

        And his co-contributer “gianlucafiore” is exactly the same story. Has literally only made issues until LLM coding got released and then late 2025 (December) switched to making commits that he badly copied from an LLM such that some of the commits are literally one full line (as direct in-file working of the LLM wasn’t as accessible then)

        That is vibe coding.

        So the top 3 contributes are

        1. An LLM
        2. Someone that only has committed any code via an LLM
        3. Someone who has only made issues before beginning with an LLM and submits clearly generated code

        There is likely no human-made code in the entire project besides changing a couple links.

        If a program written almost entirely by Claude under somebody who has not previously demonstrated any actual competency in this domain isn’t vibe coding, I really don’t know what is.

            If I read the page correctly, the project was launched in the last couple months. I’m not seeing many reviews or demonstrations online yet, but I also didn’t look very hard.

            I personally don’t have any interest in mostly vibe-coded projects and won’t be trying it.

            That said, I’d be curious to hear from anyone who has tried it. It’s certainly welcome to see open-source competitors popping up for AEC software.

              Yeah.

              Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to touch projects vibe coded to this level, going solely on past experience with them.

              But I am scientifically curious about its functionality.

      or care about the community rules

      Where did he say this? He said he didn’t read the rules. Also, when I explained the rules (tho in error), where to find them, and decode them, instead of just piling on like everyone else, when I came back, OP had added the tag. That doesn’t seem like he didn’t ‘care about the community rules’. OP doesn’t seem to be fluent in English, and stated such. Yes, the rules are posted and are there for proper formatting of threads. So imagine yourself visiting a selfhosting site that’s written in Mandarin. ffs!

        Elsewhere in this thread, I can’t seem to get the link on my phone:

        Rulues was not readed, but i do know most people do not want AI code. So i did know what the issue you point just from your comment

        I will not hold post about great FOSS project becuse of AI code.

        Thanks.

        They admitted that they chose not to read the community rules and appear to have assumed that they were not allowed to post about AI projects, yet chose to post anyway.

        Also, translation tools are widely available on the Internet to the extent that they’re built into most browsers at this point. While they’re obviously not as good as actually being fluent, they work fine for getting the point across. I’ve used them to read non-English sites with success, even if I maybe missed some of the subtleties of the original text.

        It would be far less frustrating if they had at least attempted to read the rules and made a mistake in trying to follow them.

          All I’m advocating here is a little common courtesy, you know? Rule 1 if we’re going to talk about rules. Selfhosters are always talking about how we need more people to sever the umbilical cord of Big Data and get into selfhosting, then act like a bunch of elitist snobs. It really is the black eye in the self hosting community.

            I get what you’re saying and agree with you that there tends to be an elitist slant within this community, but that courtesy is a two-way street. I don’t think it’s that much to ask that people to put in the bare minimum to respect the spaces they enter without having to be cajoled to do so by others, and in turn, I do my best to respect the communities I visit both online and offline.

            I actually rescinded my downvote after they added the tag because they were following the rules at that point, in spite of my misgivings about the project.
