From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
Can I please congratulate you on your README. It rapidly tells me what I'm looking at, and why I might be interested in the project. There are so many READMEs around that ... just don't do that.

I love the general idea behind Blender's UI. And I do appreciate the effort that goes into it, especially in the latest versions as it got much better, But I really really really REALLY don't want that UI in anything else other than Blender. Please don't.
That's really cool! I burned some tokens trying to develop something similar but gave up halfway. A lot of people criticize Blender's UI but as someone who has been using blender for more than a decade now I just find it so elegant. Just the customizability itself is something I miss on most 3D software, if not all…
