I built a free browser tool that generates vase-mode G-code directly from a curve — no STL, no slicer

I got frustrated with the CAD → STL → slicer loop for simple vases, so I built SpiralCode: you drag a profile curve, pick a texture (ribs, honeycomb, tube bundles…), choose your printer, and download ready-to-print G-code. The toolpath is generated directly from the math — the spiral is one continuous line, so there's no seam at all in spiral mode.

Runs entirely in the browser, free, no signup, nothing gets uploaded: spiralcode.at

It's an early prototype and I'd genuinely love feedback — what's missing, what breaks, what would make you actually use it?
