Desktop app, local files, real folders, drag and copy workflows.
Beta features are still being improved with user feedback.
The roadmap should follow actual maker and seller pain points.
What an STL manager should do
A useful STL file manager should not only show a filename. It should help you understand what a model is, where it came from, what files belong with it, and whether it is ready to print, list, archive, or share.
Where MakerHoard is different from plain folders
- Project packages instead of loose files.
- Right-side preview modules for selected assets.
- 3D, image, video, PDF, text, and commerce material previews in one workspace.
- Tags and metadata for searching beyond filenames.
- Original files remain usable outside the app.
Honest beta limits
MakerHoard is still early. We are actively improving 3D thumbnail speed, import reliability, ZIP/project package handling, and seller-focused workflows. If a feature is important to your business, tell us before we lock the design.
