What HN said

What people liked

  • Good progress since earlier demo with visual diffs

    From 1 comment

Objections

  • Unclear licensing; no license details shown for uploads

    From 2 comments
    • Why would anyone want to post their projects here w/o any kind of license details? "All rights reserved." to me means that you own what I upload.

    • Well, I looked and I didn't see anything at all about license. Do you only see the badge for already uploaded projects? Why would I look at existing projects for licensing terms?

Questions

  • How does it compare to Ezra's git-based 3D model site

    From 1 comment
    • Interesting, I wonder how this compares to what Ezra's working on. He mentioned a git-based community site for 3D models that incorporated visual diffs at RailsConf 2012:…

    • For an interresting approach to 3d model diffing, please check this site - http://3drepo.org/ (not affiliated with it, but found it while doing some research on my own)

  • GitHub

    From 1 comment
    • Hrm, I can see where the confusion is. Actually, on the sidebar of each project, you can see that the projects are creative commons. The "All right reserved" is for Cubehero…
