Modeling App
The Zoo Design Studio app.
Overview
Zoo Design Studio is an innovative CAD application that pushes the boundaries of modern modeling experiences. With insights garnered over decades, it seeks to transform traditional CAD practices by leveraging human-readable code for all project artifacts, thereby making the design process more intuitive and manageable. This unique approach allows for seamless integration with version control tools like GitHub, enabling designers to track changes and maintain their work easily.
The application not only focuses on usability but also enhances performance by utilizing GPU technology for rendering. This ensures that users can experience a significant boost in rendering capabilities while working on their projects. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to CAD modeling, Zoo Design Studio's hybrid interface, combining familiar point-and-click controls with coding, offers a refreshing take on product design.
Features
- Hybrid User Interface: Users can choose between traditional point-and-click methods and coding in KCL, making it versatile for different skill levels.
- Human-Readable Code: All project artifacts are expressed as plain text, improving accessibility and integration with version control systems.
- GPU Optimization: Built to utilize Nvidia's Vulkan, the geometry engine offers exceptional rendering performance, enhancing user experience.
- Auto-Scaling Resources: The application offloads resource-intensive tasks to a hosted geometry engine, enabling better performance without relying solely on local machines.
- Real-Time 3D View: The 3D visualization is powered by a video stream from the geometry engine, providing immediate feedback on modeling commands.
- Open API: Encourages developers to build custom applications or contribute to the existing framework, fostering a collaborative community.
- Responsive Support: The team welcomes user feedback and encourages users to report unsupported platforms, reflecting a commitment to improvement.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- Headless UI
Headless UI is a set of completely unstyled, fully accessible UI components for React, Vue, and Alpine.js that empower developers to build their own fully accessible custom UI components. Headless UI allows developers to focus on building accessible and highly functional user interfaces, without the need to worry about styling or layout.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
