  long: "Frying 3D Extreme",
  author: "Nexoniarz",
  authorUrl: "https://github.com/Nexoniarz",
  repo: "https://github.com/Nexoniarz/Fry3DX",
  tagline: "A 3D modeller that does what you'd expect.",
  intro: "Pick a tool, click, drag. Plain words instead of jargon, a toolbox like GIMP's, and the useful stuff from the big modellers without the hundred menus around it.",

  why: {
    title: "Why does this exist?",
    text: [
      "Because the well-known modellers suck at being easy. You open them and get a wall of panels, shortcuts nobody would ever guess, and modes inside modes. Making a box with a hole for a screw shouldn't need a tutorial.",
      "So Nexoniarz made one that's built around how people actually think: pick a tool, click on the thing, drag. Every button says what it does, every tool has a tooltip, and the clever parts (rounding, mirroring, combining, checking a print) are one click away.",
    ],
  },

  features: [
    { icon: "▣", title: "Shapes that stay editable", text: "Cube, cylinder, sphere, torus, stairs, arch and more, plus starter models like a table, chair or barrel. Change their sizes any time in Properties." },
    { icon: "✎", title: "Draw a shape anywhere", text: "Click an outline on the ground or straight on the face of another object: it becomes a new part, gets added to it, or cuts into it." },
    { icon: "⊕", title: "Add, subtract, overlap", text: "Combine objects: add them together, take one out of another, or keep only where they overlap. The result is always closed and ready to print." },
    { icon: "◫", title: "Real shape editing", text: "Points, edges and faces. Extrude, inset, round edges, loop cut, knife, merge. Shift+click picks a whole loop, Shift+Ctrl+click a ring." },
    { icon: "◎", title: "Holes for screws and nuts", text: "Round, rectangle, triangle or hexagon. M2 to M8 screw and nut sizes ready, with a little room added so the print actually fits." },
    { icon: "▤", title: "Copies and thickness", text: "Copies in a row or round in a circle. Make a surface thick, or a solid hollow with walls exactly as thick as you need." },
    { icon: "🖌", title: "Paint and stickers", text: "Paint on the model or on its flat picture. Paste any picture (Ctrl+V) and it goes on like a sticker that bends over edges and corners." },
    { icon: "▦", title: "Layout tab", text: "Move, turn and size the flat frames of the surface by hand. The paint follows, so the model looks the same." },
    { icon: "⎙", title: "Made for 3D printing", text: "Your printer's plate in the view, sizes in millimetres, checks for holes and flipped faces with fix buttons, overhangs shown red, weight and filament." },
    { icon: "☀", title: "See it rendered", text: "Solid view for modelling, a real renderer with sky, sun and soft shadows when you want to see it properly. Save a picture with F12." },
    { icon: "🗀", title: "Folders and groups", text: "Layers with folders inside folders, drag and drop, show/hide and lock whole groups, and a button on every row that brings the camera to it." },
    { icon: "💾", title: "Never lose work", text: "Its own packed .fry file, autosave in the background, recovery after a crash, and a Save / Don't save / Cancel when closing." },
  ],

  shots: [
    { img: "img/model.webp", title: "Model", text: "Starter models, a folder of parts, a shape drawn onto a cube's face, rendered with sky and shadows." },
    { img: "img/paint.webp", title: "Paint", text: "A picture pasted on as a sticker: it bends over the cube's edge like a real one." },
    { img: "img/print.webp", title: "Print", text: "The printer's plate, sizes in millimetres, checks and overhangs before you slice." },
    { img: "img/combine.webp", title: "Combine", text: "A cylinder taken out of a cube, copies in a row in a folder, a plane made thick." },
    { img: "img/crash.webp", title: "Even the crash screen", text: "If something does get burnt, your work comes back from the last autosave." },
