Post Description

Hey HN! I've been working on this idea for around 9 months and want to know your opinion on the concept and the experience.

I came up with it when I moved in with my girlfriend and we had a hard time making our small studio work. In Cona, you can draw your floor plan with real dimensions, scan your room, or pick from a template, then design it with real, purchasable items. It's free and there's no sign-up to try it. I wanted to build something that helps people like me actually live in the space they want: for me that was a proper home office setup that works in a tiny room.

Want to know what you think. Thank you! I'll be in the comments answering questions about the tech behind it if you're interested in the graphics, the ML, or anything else.
