After operating for almost two years, Ondsel has made the difficult decision to cease operations and close down.

It was a pleasure using it. I wanted to switch from Fusion to Ondsel and tried to learn it as an alternative.

Did you use Ondsel?

    Seems like just rebranding a free and open source software and try to run a business with it, isn’t the right way when you don’t make any significant optimizations to said software, except some minor UI tweaks.

      To be fair, they also made a number of fixes and improvements in the base code itself and like good Free Software citizens, contributed them back to the project. Those contributions are in the current 1.0RC2 release of FreeCAD. I think they were wanting to try the same play that launched RedHat back in the day. I appreciate their contributions and I’m sorry it didn’t work out for them.
