The amount of attention we got from the F360 news is unreal, much thanks is due to Kunda for hours and hours of effort on taking advantage of that with social media presence. It's worth thinking, too, that this has happened before and will happen again, so it's something we could be more prepared for to have even better returns with.
Like my FreeCAD work? I'd appreciate any level of support via Patreon, Liberapay, or PayPal! Read more about what I do at my blog.

FreeCAD is #8 at trending today (+296 stars) and #19 at trending this week (+805 stars).

Stars are great and all. But what about actual forks and PRs? We'll see in a few months...

I love how the curve has nearly gone vertical, now. That's fantastic!

This thread feels like watching paint on the wall dry out. But it's still fun.
