Not the OP. I tried Orca for a few days, though I liked being able to manage git worktrees from the UI and being able to leave comments for the agent while I'm reviewing the diff, I found editing experience too slow for daily use. It's also missing some minor polish issues (vim bindings, being able to change default shell etc.) that were deal breakers for me.

Reminds of the quote by Bill Gates.
> "Well, Steve [Jobs]… I think it’s more like we both had this rich neighbour named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."

Those are very good suggestions, thank you! I sell more of the physical holders than the digital ones anyway, so perhaps the artboard and digital files aren't as helpful as I thought they were.

https://toolwallhq.com - Digital organizer for your physical tools. I used to have a hard time keeping my shop organized, so I jumped in and came up with a solution that has worked for me so far and perhaps might help you.
The idea is you use the digital artboard to visualize your tools on the wall and then buy the holders to mount it on your workshop wall.
There seems to be a growing overlap between programming and woodworking for whatever reason. I could go on about the similarities, but after hours of staring at the screen, we sometimes want to make things with our hands and woodworking helps me do that. If you're looking to get started, I can't recommend visiting a local makerspace enough.
PS also on Etsy if that's your thing: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ToolWall

> Part of me wonders about the feasibility of an open source business based around paid support and training of a complex professional tool. I know of cases this works for tools aimed at software engineers, but I’d be curious if that was really attempted with CAD
Solidworks isn't open source, but they provide support and training. So it's possible of open source business to do the same.

Fusion supports a wide range of use case from CAD to CAM and others. None of open source tools (FreeCad, OpenSCAD, Opencad etc.) come close to matching Fusion's features. I don't think most even support CAM which I need for CNC tool paths.
Happy to chat more if you're interested in it.

As someone who uses and relies on Fusion for work, it's frustrating how customer hostile Autodesk is. And this is on top of their subscription price increase they announced in March.
A part of me wants to reimplement the tool holders for ToolWall[1] in OpenSCAD[2] and be done with it with Autodesk forever.

Does it work with natural language to sql?

Yes you're right. In the Github link in the post, that's what they do as well. It helps to a small degree, but it's not nearly enough data for building an analytics app.
I was hoping there would be a dataset that would follows real world patterns vs whatever I generate from my understanding of the api.

I generally takes notes when it's something that I want to remember. Sometimes just the act of writing it down helps you remember better. I try to do spaced repetition occasionally to help me remember the most important things.
It really depends what your goals are. Do you really want to remember every single thing you learn? Then be like SuperMemo founder and capture everything and do spaced repetition.
