@movq I know, nobody asked 🀑 but, here are a couple of suggestions:
- If you're willing to pay for a licence I'd highly recommend plasticity it's under GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 3.
- Otherwise if you already have experience with CAD/Parametric modeling you could give freeCAD a spin, it's under GNU Library General Public License, version 2.0, it took them years but have just recently shipped their v1.0 πŸ‘
- or just roll with Autodesk's Fusion for personal use, if you don't mind their "Oh! You need to be online to use it" thing.

@prologic sure! I don't know if this is what you need but, let me give it a try.

- I have Timeline installed, which has an endpoint to process #webmentions. Mine for example is https://aelaraji.com/timeline/webmention which you can find by querying https://aelaraji.com/.well-known/webfinger.
- If you mention someone from #Timeline itself, it takes care of querying that and sending in the mention for you.
- Otherwise (what I personally do) you could just: 
h
curl -i -d 'source=https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt#:~:text=2024-12-09T01:22:37Z' -d 'target=https://aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt' https://aelaraji.com/timeline/webmention

basically what @sorenpeter mentioned in his article Here.

Afterwards, the mentions are stored in their own mentions.txt feed. The one from the example above looks like this on my Timeline :
![Example Timeline (web)mention](https://aelaraji.com/static/img/example_mention.gif)

Feel free to spam my endpoint if you'd like to give things a try. πŸ‘

@prologic I've seen plenty but I doubt you could use any (other than PHP) to actually serve your pages, anything you want to serve, you put in a ~/public_xyz folder (your php files go there too for Apache to serve), no config files/server setting.
