[Feature Request]: Implement Nodi or something like it for visual creation #1

Open NoSQLKnowHow opened 3 months ago

It'd be nice to be able to previsualize what the output will look like and/or plan a bin visually with the help of something like Nodi. To see an implementation using it, look at Bento3d. I have no idea what it'd take to implement this, but this would uplevel your already amazing tool!

A preview is definitely something I would like to make, but the bottleneck currently is the slow generation of the 3D model itself. Especially large bins take quite a bit of time. Having to update the preview every time one of the inputs changes would quickly overload my server. But I'll take a look at Nodi en Bento3D. Maybe they offer a usable approach.

Thanks for the idea!

I understand. If what I am reading is correct, and I might not be, Nodi does all of that client-side, and once you're happy with it, then it pushes data to the backend to generate. I could be reading it wrong though.

On a related note, what's the best way to send feedback? Open an issue? I tried sending you a message on Discord. What works best for you? I love what you have developed and want to support/promote it and see it grow!

Either should work, although I don't always have Discord loaded by default. I only just saw your DM request there, so let's continue the conversation there.
