Here is a real coding problem that I might be willing to make a cash-prize contest for. We'd need to nail down some rules. I'd be shocked if any LLM can do this:

https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/1414

Make a GTK 4 version of Solvespace. We have a single C++ file for each platform - Windows, Mac, and Linux-GTK3. There is also a QT version on an unmerged branch for reference. The GTK3 file is under 2KLOC. You do not need to create a new version, just rewrite the GTK3 Linux version to GTK4. You may either ask it to port what's there or create the new one from scratch.

If you want to do this for free to prove how great the AI is, please document the entire session. Heck make a YouTube video of it. The final test is weather I accept the PR or not - and I WANT this ticket done.

I'm not going to hold my breath.

FWIW, what I want most in Solvespace is a way to do chamfers and fillets.

And a way to define parameters (not sure if that's already possible).

I've outlined a function for that and started to write the code. At a high level it's straight forward, but the details are complex. It'll probably be a year before it's done.

This is an active work in progress. A demo was made years ago, but it's buggy and incomplete. We've been working out the details on how to make it work. I hope to get the units issue dealt with this week. Then the relation constraints can be re-integrated on top - that's the feature where you can type arbitrary equations on the sketch using named parameters (variables). I'd like that to be done this year if not this summer.

Sounds great, thanks for all the good work!

By the way, if this would make things simpler, perhaps you can implement chamfering as a post-processing step. This makes it maybe less general, but it would still be super useful.

While I second the same request, I'm also incredibly grateful for Solvespace as a tool. It's my favorite MCAD program, and I always reach for it before any others. Thank you for your work on it!
