       | Always so wowed by posts about maker spaces :)
       | 
       | Is it normal in the states? And is it full of cool projects?

       | What do they mean by "create 5 free projects"? Will they laser-
       | cut it for you and send it to you by mail?

         | On a free account you can create up to 5 projects in the Cuttle
         | Editor (and you can delete them if you want to create more...)
         | 
         | We don't laser cut anything for you. You can download your
         | project as an SVG file (or DXF, etc) which you can then send to
         | a laser cutter hooked up to your computer.
         | 
         | The product is designed for people who have access to a laser
         | cutter, e.g. at home or at a makerspace.

       | I am one of the creators of Cuttle. It stems from my research
       | building direct manipulation + programming environments like
       | http://recursivedrawing.com/ and http://aprt.us/
       | 
       | From a programmer's perspective, you can think of Cuttle as a
       | direct manipulation vector editor (like Inkscape or Adobe
       | Illustrator) that can be driven with parameters and JS code where
       | you need it.
       | 
       | Unlike my previous research projects, this is a commercial
       | startup mostly catering to laser cutting small businesses, though
       | you can use it for anything where you want a 2D vector editor +
       | some programmatic capabilities.
       | 
       | I'll try to answer questions that come up in this HN thread.

       | Thank you for sharing your work Hannah! Very cool stuff!
