I build free online 2D CAD
I’ve been working on a side project for quite a while, mostly nights and weekends, and finally reached a point where I felt comfortable sharing it.
It’s called branchcad, a browser-based 2D CAD application.
The two ideas I really wanted to explore were real-time collaboration (multiple people editing the same drawing together) and branching/merging, similar to Git, but for CAD drawings instead of source code. I couldn’t find a tool that combined those ideas, so I decided to try building it myself.
It’s free to use. There’s also an optional paid plan if anyone wants to support the project, but right now I’m much more interested in getting honest feedback than anything else.
If you have a few minutes to try it, I’d genuinely love to hear: branchcad.com
What feels intuitive?
What feels frustrating or clunky?
Any bugs you run into.
Features you’d expect that are missing.
I’m building this solo, so every bit of feedback helps shape where it goes next.
Happy to answer any questions about the implementation or design decisions as well. Thanks for taking a look!
