Hey everyone, I’m David, founder of ShareCAD.com I don't come from software. I started out as a welder and mechanic and spent years building and fixing things before ever writing a line of code. The idea for ShareCAD came from a really simple (and frustrating) problem: Not having the ability to view the files we store, archive, and share without having to download them and have software to open them. I couldn’t get over the thought of being able to view files in the same place we store them. At the same time, I was learning about AWS, and I already started building different websites and games. I realized I could leverage AWS, APS, and other libraries to accomplish what I wanted. I’ve spent the last two years building ShareCAD.com, which now has active users at the enterprise level. I’ve also been dabbling in integrating AI, specifically for auto redaction, which has been doing very well. One thing that surprised me; teams started using ShareCAD as a searchable library of thousands of models, not just for sharing. That wasn’t even the original plan, but it turned into a great use case. I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback; good or bad. Thanks for taking a look.
