The launch graphic says "Ported end-to-end by Fable, an AI agent" and it definitely feels that way. Buggy, glitchy, needs some love and human eyes before it's really usable.

You can - there's an 'Extend' button for LiDAR captures, but it can be a little touch-and-go sometimes. Definitely an area for us to work on more!

Yep! For meshes we've got GLTF, OBJ, FBX, STL, and DAE. And then you can also export the 2D floorplan as SVG and DXF.

politely but firmly (with all my soul) disagree.

I should disclaim that I work on a 3D capture app called Polycam, but in that work I've grown used to the idea that 3D captures are inherently better at conveying some kinds of visual information than photographs are. Like a room with graffiti on the walls. The opposite is also true - 2D photos are way better at sunsets & portraits.

So I guess what I'm saying is that I'd bet there are some undiscovered cases where 3D is going to be better for data representation / manipulation.

Even though current VR/AR interfaces are completely useless for Excel or other data-management tasks (no keyboard support, unreliable controls, lack of development interest), I think in the future there are more embodied / spatial treatments of data access that could feel like an improvement on '2D' Excel.

As the author mentions, the original moniker for Excel was VisiCalc - a visual calculator. There's no inherent reason why 3D spatial representation would be a worse medium for a calculator.

Can't disagree with a rant if you can't read it.

I feel like that has to do with the Twitch/streamer culture too, where lots of people have big, visible mikes.

This is a really excellent comment.

I totally respect your opinion, but I think I fundamentally disagree with the idea that learning = pain. Project-driven learning seems more effective when the project is something that excites the learner. I might suggest that your ability to learn test-driven development in Go is actually driven by the fact that you're interested in Fibonacci calculators.
