### 5/5 — Great resource

*2026-04-29*

As an industrial designer and tinkerer, I use this as a dictionary of how stuff is made. Genuinely useful tool! I lean on it constantly. Looking forward to seeing it deepen over time.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much. Hearing it works as a dictionary for how things are made is exactly what we hoped for. We're actively deepening the material database and build-detail accuracy in upcoming releases. Keep the feedback coming at support@snaptobuild.app, designers and tinkerers shape where this goes.
