💻 AstoCAD: Paid Membership for Enhanced Open-Source FreeCAD

AstoCAD, a new paid membership, has launched as a soft fork of the open-source FreeCAD software, aiming to significantly redesign its user interface to enhance usability. This initiative, led by a key FreeCAD developer, seeks to fund further UI improvements for FreeCAD by offering early access to these changes through AstoCAD's subscription model. While AstoCAD requires a paid membership, its source code remains open, and its UI enhancements are expected to eventually be integrated back into the free FreeCAD project after a period of time.
