@Aidan_Wolf
suggestion : add something like so that it can recognise doodles and label them,
@Sketchfab
integration so that the app can use the label to search for 3D models in Sketchfab and place them too in the scene
This would be amazing

impressive!
So it is true 😍
Perhaps the best way to express the change is that if a pull request includes custom JavaScript code, that's taken as a smell to be investigated. Doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong, but it quite possibly could be avoided. That's how we ended up with a ~40kb JS bundle.
