Designing furniture using the CSS grid (2023) (alnvdl.github.io)
1 points by alnvdl 1259 days ago
At one point during the construction of my house, we needed designs for the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and a bedroom wardrobe.

I wanted full control of the design process. Doing it in vector illustration software was too painful and it was taking too long. But I didn't have the time to learn any complex CAD tool either.

So I developed a small HTML/JS/CSS tool for designing MDF furniture by writing my own little language that transpiles into a CSS grid layout.

Take a look at the blog post for details: https://alnvdl.github.io/2023/01/07/designing-furniture-usin...
