Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Jesse, also known as CadHomie.
I've spent over 20 years working with CAD in manufacturing and protective packaging design. I learned through hands-on experience, without a college degree, and I know how overwhelming CAD can feel when you're just getting started.
That's why I built CADstart.
I wanted to create a place where beginners could actually learn and practice 2D CAD without having to purchase expensive software or jump between endless tutorials.
CADstart combines a real browser-based CAD workspace with guided lessons, drawing exercises, and practical projects covering everything from basic coordinates and dimensions to architectural and civil drafting fundamentals.
There's a free demo anyone can try, and the complete course is available with a one-time purchase and lifetime access.
I'm still learning and improving things as I go, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from this community.
For those who have learned CAD or taught someone else, what was the hardest part about getting started?
Thanks for checking out CADstart!
