ShopSpec

by @variodot

https://shopspec.io/ ShopSpec is a deterministic parametric furniture generator (bookshelves, cabinets, shop carts, leg-and-rail frames, multi-carcass composites) that encodes real woodworking intelligence and outputs shop-ready artifacts. Most recently, introduced the concept of value engineering by sweeping across dimensions to batch evaluate candidates that ranks based on sheet purchases. Also have in beta an MCP connector to let agents explore the deterministic engine. I'm building a number of items for home and shop and ShopSpec has been instrumental to plan, visualize, and execute on these new ideas/projects.
