WhatA fully browser-based parametric CAD tool under 5MB that requires zero installation, targeting rapid prototyping and collaboration for hardware startups and maker teams.
SignalThe excitement around SolveSpace running in the browser at under 3MB reveals a deep frustration with bloated, install-heavy CAD tools — users want something they can open instantly and share via a link, not another desktop app with license management.
Why NowWebAssembly performance has matured enough to run real constraint solvers and 3D kernels in-browser, and the shift to distributed hardware teams post-COVID makes zero-install collaboration tools essential.
MarketHardware startups, maker spaces, and engineering educators; ~$10B CAD market dominated by Autodesk/Dassault/PTC who all require heavy desktop installs or expensive cloud subscriptions; gap is a lightweight, free-to-start browser tool.
MoatNetwork effects from link-based sharing and collaboration — every shared design pulls new users in, similar to how Figma displaced Sketch.
Automated Supply Chain Attack Detection for Package RegistriesP7/10A real-time monitoring service that detects compromised packages on npm, PyPI, crates.io, and other registries by analyzing behavioral anomalies like credential-bypassed publishes, injected phantom dependencies, and suspicious postinstall scripts.
Zero-Trust Dependency Firewall for Development EnvironmentsC7/10A local proxy that intercepts all package installs, enforces configurable quarantine periods, blocks postinstall scripts by default, and provides a unified policy layer across npm, pip, cargo, and Go modules.
Dependency Security Copilot for AI Coding AgentsC8/10A plugin for LLM coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot Workspace) that intercepts dependency operations, validates packages against threat intelligence, and prevents agents from blindly installing or upgrading to compromised versions.
Managed Dependency Mirror with Built-In QuarantineC7/10A hosted private registry proxy that mirrors npm, PyPI, and crates.io with an automatic 72-hour quarantine on all new publishes, behavioral analysis scanning, and instant rollback — so teams never pull a package version less than 3 days old.
AI Code Provenance and Supply Chain AuditingP6/10A platform that scans npm packages, PyPI modules, and other registries for accidentally leaked source maps, prompts, API keys, and internal business logic — alerting maintainers before attackers find them.
AI Authorship Detection for Code ContributionsC6/10A tool that integrates with GitHub/GitLab to probabilistically flag whether a pull request or commit was written by an AI agent, giving maintainers transparency without relying on self-disclosure.
