There is a nice scene in the film Before Sunset where the two main characters are discussing the fact that the female lead, Celine, is working for an NGO. Speaking about what she sees around her: I see it in the people that do the real work

Architect in the making here. I was expecting Graves's article to be some form of luddism judged by the title, but after reading it I assume that it is linkbait that was added by the editors. In fact, I don't see anything overly negative th

Note that the use case of PlanGrid is different from anything that the article addresses. The article is actually addressing the things that architects do up until the point that a building goes into being constructed, while PlanGrid is abo

I will also add that with many of these "window managers" you get the terribly annoying behaviour of one window's shadow disturbing the content of its neighbours. Just yesterday I found ShadowKiller[1] that removes window shadows for all OS

I disagree. I think we all know that it's possible to "go rural". Many have done it. What Paul is doing is far more interesting and valuable to him as a tech journalist. I see this as a research project, not as a rejection of the web. To q

Thanks for sourcing your article! Could you also provide a link to more information about "Honda's dark factories"? I have no idea what it is, and Google did not help me.

Makes sense. I guess I just wanted a place to vent out my frustration with DWG :D. The other comments in this thread make it very clear, you have a great product. More industries need teams like yours.

I see that on your about page you mention only supporting PDFs. As somebody frustrated by the lack of alternatives to Autodesk products, seemingly due to the lock in by .DWG files[1] not being an open standard, I'd be curious to hear your t
