GoKawiilKetchUp launches as open-source SketchUp alternative using Rust and WebGPU
KetchUp is a new 3D modeling tool built with Rust and WebGPU that runs in desktop browsers or as a native Windows, macOS, or Linux app. It supports mouse-and-keyboard modeling with hardware acceleration via WebGPU or WebGL2, and work is autosaved locally in the browser rather than stored in the cloud. Users can export projects as .ketchup files to keep permanently, since clearing browser data can erase autosaved work.
