Tell us what your side project does

It is a community of makers who like to make furniture from code. Designers create designs using JavaScript that act as a plugin into a web app. The app is then able to extract drawings from the designs, which can be used to fabricate the design from plywood using a computer-controlled machine (similar to 3D printing). Designers can get creative in different ways when they start writing code to create furniture designs. For example, they can formulate a design for a chair that changes for people according to their different heights or a table that changes the table height as per the age of a person. The possibilities are really endless.
