How would one express those constraints? I think it's more efficient to let a human designer figure out some approximation of decent design and usability.

- Animats 8y agoThe way it's done in 2D sketch programs such as the sketch feature of Fusion 360 or Autodesk Inventor. Graphically. I've discussed this before on HN. All the modern CAD systems do this. It took decades to get CAD GUIs right, but now they're quite good. They solve a far harder problem than web design. Look to them for guidance.
- panic 8y agoIt's a completely different problem. CAD tools are modeling the physical world, so physical constraints make sense. UI designs often include completely non-physical dynamics that would be difficult to model using CAD-like constraints.
