Hi there,

I have used mumble for at least 15 years now and while it works usually very solidly. I was always frustrated with the UI/UX and the lack of _nice_ multi platform support.

A short while ago I thought I would give it a chance and create my own client which is fully compatible with the original server so nobody has to switch if they don't want to but they and I can.
(I strive for very good UX but the main UI style is basically the shadcn style library)

https://github.com/GDur/rumble-voip/tree/main

I am using it now instead of the original client. It has a lot of improvements but most notable IMO:

• cross platform support (Windows, Mac, iOs, Android, Linux)
• modern design
  • far improved image viewer and sender abilities
  • helpers for eg permissions in MacOs for global hotkeys
• fully open source
• echo cancellation (helps eg. when two parties are talking at the same time with speakers on)

At the moment not every platform is exported/built automatically.
If anybody is interested in helping to expand this or has feature ideas or any other input I would love to hear it here or in the github issues section.

Thx also to my friend Manuel who helped me with the project!

Hope this helps others too.
Cheers 😄
Gregor

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a personal project I’ve been working on for a while called FlowCAD (flowcad.app).

A bit about me: I'm a senior software engineer from Germany and a 3D printing hobbyist who always found existing CAD tools either too simple or overwhelmingly complex to learn.

I built FlowCAD with the hope of hitting a sweet spot: easy enough to learn and start, but powerful enough for complex hobby use and even some professional use cases. You don't need to install anything; it just runs in your browser.

I think of it as a mix of Tinkercad (for the ease of use), Blender (for the hotkey interactions), Figma (for the changeable tree structure), and CodePen (for easy sharing).

What it actually does:

• Parametric Modeling: Primitives, boolean operations, and modifiers (fillets/rounds, mirrors, arrays).
• Vector/Bezier Editor: Draw 2D shapes and extrude them.
• Blueprints: If you like coding, there's a live scripting engine where you can write Typescript code to generate 3D meshes and use them as parametric shapes.
• Community Gallery: You can share projects, remix others designs, and save everything to the cloud.

There is a free community tier which has everything you need to start designing right now.

I've already improved it a lot from where I started, to the point that I use it pretty much exclusively for creating my own CAD models (some of which are highlighted as featured designs on the site).

I’d absolutely love it if you gave it a try and tore it apart. Let me know what features are missing, what feels clunky, or what you actually like about it. I would also love your input on pricing, or what kind of features you feel would warrant a paid tier.

(Note: At the moment, only Pro members can have private CAD projects. However, because the app is in beta, Stripe is in test mode, so you can try out the Pro tier for free by using the standard Stripe test payment data in the settings/subscription tab).
