#livinghinge — Public Fediverse posts

I put together a refreshed and highly opinionated extension for Inkscape to create living hinges. It can, of course, do the standard lined living hinge but also offers some different pattern options.

Of course, much of the inspiration, examples, and code come from other open source software. Standing on the shoulders of giants.
