Do engineering students need a simple sketching tool between Paint and CAD?

Do engineering students need a simple sketching tool between Paint and CAD?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a small web app called EngSketch. The idea is simple: sometimes you don’t need full CAD, you just want to quickly sketch a technical idea, add dimensions, and share/export it.

I made it because I often found myself using tools that were either too heavy for quick sketches, or not technical enough for engineering-style drawings.

I’d really appreciate feedback from engineering students:

Would this be useful for homework, lab reports, quick concepts, or explaining ideas?

What features would make it actually helpful?

Is browser-based sketching something you would use, or would you rather just use CAD, OneNote, or Paint?

Thanks — any honest feedback is welcome.
