KetchUp – Open-source SketchUp alternative built with Rust and WebGPU

Is this a slopified version of SketchUp or? I'm not interested in free AI clones, quality wise they're way worse and all it takes to see that is that after a bunch of clicks eveything blows up(artcraft is such an example). I'm in this positioning where I don't trust anymore any new software, the only next software I'll pay a licenze for will be one that has clear AI disclosure and how they avoid slop, or no AI usage at all. I want quality, we are getting back steaming shit

The slop you are talking about is the slop non-developers produce. I have been a developer for the past 20+ years. I know how to scale and stress-test an application. For instance (real data), my slop runs the exact same file at 240 FPS VS 45 on SketchUp.

There are good and bad slops.

So what's the full disclosure here? Do you know every line of code that has been pushed or not? Btw 240fps? Browser's fps are capped to monitor refresh rate

Follow up: I confirm what I said, the moment you start clicking around you experience all the wrong things
