   We played around with it a while back, but didn't quite get it right (visually), will give it another shot.

   Thank you. Numerical input is on its way, probably a month or so.

   Check back in a month or so, going to release 2 large updates.

   Yeah, the behavior is the same, I meant it feels more natural on the phone :) I'll add it to our backlog, to take a look at it and maybe rethink the selection logic.

   I'll add some information about the development stack as well. First and foremost Three.js, that made getting a prototype up and running in a weekend viable. For mobile, we use Cordova and package the app up for various platforms. On t

   Thank you. And yes, the details take up 10x more time than the features.

   The threejs.org/editor has some functionality for this. We will be adding Three.js export support soon as well, so hey, maybe combine the two.

   Hi! You make a good point, that the current behavior might not make sense on desktop. We started out on Android and iOS and there "tapping" on objects makes a whole lot more sense. We should probably revisit the entire controls lo

    We should have a chat yeah, just saw a three.js pull request by you, that I want to discuss :) (Image and Texture related, single image -> multiple textures. Long story short, we are building the exact same thing :) )

    Can you specify a bit? Do you mean translate/scale/rotate specifically or how we track the arrow movement?

    A lot of people build and sketch prototypes. There is basic constructive solid geometry via the subtract tool for some more complex stuff. As for textures, we will be adding them in the next update.

    A lot of people have been asking for transparency lately. We can add it, but would need to rework how object selection/deselection looks visually. Thank you for the feedback.

    Agreed, the controls need a rework. They are the legacy of the prototype version we built a while back.

    Hi, our desktop features including hotkeys etc. have been lagging behind, since we started as a mobile-first tool, but they are on the roadmap. You are correct in the conclusion that it is more like a basic toy, we try to keep things as sim

    Nice paper, hadn't seen this one before, seems pretty recent.

    I've found that a goal combined with play seems to be effective. People like learning if it is a way to build something they want to build. So maybe try finding something that the child wants to build and then get to design through tha
