Hi HN, sharing a little app I built to measure architectural drawings in the browser. My architects on a remodel had this fancy software to do it, but I was frustrated to not be able to do the same easily.It does much of what the more complex software does: measure distance, surface areas, perimeters, angles; markup; takeoff (count & run lengths), ...etc. I even built an overlay feature to compare two pages.In this age of AI, I think simple software such as this can only ever be free. How do you offer a web app for free? Make it local only. I think there is a lot of space to explore in local-first web apps. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50448062 Points: 1
