It's a copy of their llms.txt page. Not the page itself.

Thanks, it also runs well as a PWA. It's Threejs under the hood, plus some rendering optimisation to ensure it performs well in mobile browsers.

It is a highly requested feature. I just seem to have painted myself into a corner dev wise, and it's a pretty difficult feature to build without significant re-architecture. It's on my to-do list though.

Literally just ease of use. Blender you have to learn to use, whereas JSM is built to be pick-up-and-go for even the least tech-savvy users.

It's entirely possible to export an image of the scene and upload that to your genAI of choice.

Creator of JustSketchMe here! I was very surprised to see this on HackerNews this morning. Very cool to see this doing the rounds 6 years into running this :)

Creator of Bear here. Suggesting that because one project fails, others will too is a bit of a fallacy. Fact is that whether you self-host or not, you're still using someone else's platform (unless you're a real self-hoster with a box in your closet, in which case, good on you and godspeed).

I think as long as platforms have an easy way for people to backup and migrate, that's fair.

Additionally, part of the appeal of Bear is that I've made it my personal mission to get the platform to outlive me. Take that as you will. I can't prove that Bear will live on in perpetuity, but I can try my best.
