As a holiday project to test out spec first development using Codex CLI, I ended up creating https://boxinsertdesigner.com/ It lets you design a box insert in 2D and spits out a cutting list. I'm looking for feedback, bugs, feature ideas etc and figured this would be a good place to find it :) | ||

A sample (or a small portfolio of sample) images would help people grasp what this does. Or a sample project. (It’s not like it’s super-complicated, but people like pictures.) | ||

You could let people post public inserts for specific games, start building up a library. | ||

Lots of suggestions already, my only suggestion is that it would be nice if this could generate tabs and slots. I'm more likely to laser cut or 3D print inserts, so a tab and slot would make assembly easier. Well that and to generate STL files for 3D printing. | ||

This looks nice! Why don't the dividers snap to the closest edge automatically? Feels like that's a lot of manual labor that could just be done automatically. Is there a way to output an SVG? I'd love to send this to my laser or CNC cutter and have it cut automatically. | ||
