🎉 VERY pleased to announce that VanDAM will be a recipient of grant funding from #NLNet, under their @NGIZero Entrust programme. 🎉

We'll be working on lots of great features and improvements, but the big goal is to develop the app into an #ActivityPub powered "decentralized Thingiverse" where anyone can self-host an instance to distribute their content.

https://nlnet.nl/project/Personal-3D-a rchive/

Also we're still looking for a new name that can take us there; send in ideas!

@peter @3dprinting that's very clever! Is the DAM acronym itself reasonably understandable, do you think?

As this project grows, it's probably time for a more understandable name, rather than a fairly weak pun. I want to find a name that references ideas of 3d printing and graphics, as well as self-hosting, independence, freedom, and perhaps federation and decentralisation. Any suggestions? https://github.com/Floppy/van_dam/issu es/1623 @3dprinting #3dPrinting #SelfHosted #AskFedi #Branding

VanDAM v0.50.0 is out!

This release sees even more Problems... in a good way! Duplicate files will now be flagged as Problems in the list, so you can easily find them and tidy up. There are also more performance improvements that should make everything snappier to use.

@Darkedge that the idea! It’s known to work on synology, and unraid, as well as generic docker.

VanDAM v0.49.0 is out! 🎉

This release sees big performance improvements in 3d rendering, along with a bunch of improvements around large files. Now you can see what size files are, control whether files over a certain size should auto-render (or turn it off entirely), and detect inefficiently-encoded model files that are wasting disk space!

VanDAM v0.45.0 is out! It's been a while (and we missed a couple of announcements)! Previously we released file uploading and collection nesting, then this release is mostly bug fixes, especially around library scanning, metadata parsing, docker running, and more.

VanDAM v0.42.0 is out! The big feature this time is customisable paths for organising your 3d models on disk. Arrange your hoard by creator, collection, tag, whatever you want. AND, when you add new models, it will try to work out the metadata from the path using the same template.

Also, thanks to new contributor @ksuquix for loads of work on this release!

Two VanDAM releases, one post!

v0.39.0 adds "Problems", a way of flagging up issues with your libraries and models, such as missing files, and more in future!

v0.40.0 adds settings to completely customise the preview rendering. If you don't like the default synthwave effect, you can change it to whatever you like!
