BrickSolvr v1.4.0 - a front door of its own

Until now, bricksolvr.com opened straight into the converter. Great if you already knew what it did — less great if a link brought you there cold.

A home page

bricksolvr.com now shows what BrickSolvr does before you open it: what it's for, what comes out the other end, and models you can try in a single click. The converter itself moved to bricksolvr.com/app, where it belongs.

A tidier app

The changelog, the contact form and the privacy policy used to live inside the app as pop-up panels. They're pages of their own now, so the app is left with the things you actually use while building.

Every page but the converter is a fraction of the weight it was, too — the reading pages no longer carry the 3D engine around with them.

And the part you can't see

Most of this release is something you'll never notice: the whole project was taken apart and put back together.

When I started BrickSolvr I didn't plan much. It was a small, fast thing — one idea, see if it even works. Then it launched, and my head filled up with what I wanted to build next. That's a good problem, and it comes with a bill: you can't keep stacking onto something you put up in a weekend.

So this release is me paying it. Nothing you can click, but it's the reason the next things will arrive quickly instead of carefully.
