I posted about this a few years ago but finally got the chance to finish it up. I released the surfboard design software I’ve been working on that runs on iPhone or iPad! Thanks to the folks here that helped me test out a beta version a while back.
Thanks, that must have been a labor of love,since you are offering it up for free. My lap top cramped out been useing an IPad for more then a year.now. I’ll get the pro game and report back
Unfortunately, I can’t run it on my ipad mini because it needs iOS 10. So in general it needs/will need a newer iDevice. The thing is, shapers don’t tend to have a lot of cash. I suspect a lot of people here are using either an android phone or an iPhone 6. The iPhone 6 will run this but we can expect that to stop working in a year or 2.
Customers with money to burn will appreciate it though as people like to get involved in the creation process. You could have a ‘send to local shaper’ button on it and earn a commission for each successful sale! Local shaper get extra sales and hopefully avoid some customer hassles & the app gets funded. Is it a good idea?
Thanks jago25_98! You are definitely correct about older devices - I can see usage across much older iPhones than other apps. Just tryin to put some good karma out there in the surf world for now - no plans to try an monetize it. I do have a “donate” button so hopefully I can break even on hosting costs.
I will get back to you in couple of weeks still working on my new very used Home. Yes a 67 Is took on a fixer project. New floors some walls down to the studs drywall paint. It’s looking good.
After the first of the year I will get a Art Studio/Shaping Shed out back.
Hey Surfdude, definitely not meant as a replacement for Boardcad - just a tool to build outlines for now. I’ll probably add some rocker options in the future but want it to be for hand-shaping, not CNC.
