When I played with SolveSpace last year and did some small projects with it I took the single page HTML docs from github and manually created Sphinx docs from them. They're hosted at [1]. I posted to the SolveSpace forum at the time but there was never any feedback from there. I didnt feel inclined to put more work into it. I'm happy if someone forks the GitHub repo and becomes the maintainer.

Yeah, I know that filling too... It's happen because current main developer (whitequark) not very friendly with SolveSpace's users and their feature requests... Sadly, but I dream that some time SolveSpace will be maintained such developers as Yorik van Havre and other developers of FreeCAD ;-)

Hope, FreeCAD team will fork SolveSpace for further development and give SolveSpace second breathe then.

OK, think, I could work on it[0] soon ;-)

Currently I try setup[1] AppImage builds with patches (features), that already exists as pull requests but still not merged in official SolveSpace branch.
