The project’s GitHub repository shows an impressive slate of features, but also notes that things are changing as this is alpha software. The CAD kernel is a common one brought in via WebAssembly, so there shouldn’t be many simple bugs involving geometry.

We’ve seen a number of browser-based tools that do some kind of CAD. CADmium is a recent entry into the list. Or, stick with OpenSCAD. We sometimes go low-tech for schematics.

One codebase across all OSes and OS versions, no dependency issues, easy to push updates.

I'd prefer a native app myself, though.

Worse performance & accessibility, more restricted UI-Features, needs work to port... and now you need to care for mobile too.

Better pack it in Flatpack instead.
