Horizontal cut priority #1

Great project, thanks for cooking this up. Would it be possible to add in a feature to optimize the cuts by horizontal or vertical axes? E.g., I have a circular saw guide that is long enough to traverse the 4' side of a plywood board, but not the 8' side. It'd be very helpful to have the cuts calculated so that i can first cut the board horizontally where possible, leaving the perpendicular cuts for the resulting smaller pieces. Happy to elaborate if this doesn't make sense, and thanks for considering!

That's an interesting use case. Would need to think through how best to represent that from a UX standpoint. If it's something your comfortable contributing then contributions are welcome! I am a bit swamped at the moment so it will probably be a bit before I can get to it.
