> TinkerCAD, which runs from the browser. Very intuitive...

TinkerCAD is proprietary software by AutoCAD... And we remember what has happen[0] with its another 'free' app - Fusion360 (RIP).

Thanks, but no.

BTW, LeoCAD is a much better choice for kids and AFOLs.

I don't understand this reaction. Fusion360 continues to be free (as in beer) for personal. Not only that but startups can apply for a free licence each year.

Is there a particular tweet you’re trying to highlight? As a casual bystander, this comment isn’t helpful...

There are a lot of FreeCADNews' threads, so here I would link just few of them.[0,1]
