Support the project (by destinatorM)
Hello,
first: I love the simplicity and the workflow with SolveSpace.
I only have a few questions:
Is this project still active? Last release was April 2021 and GitHub says only 4 devs? Ok last update 2hrs ago. But its only a question.
Than, how can I support the project? I can't code but maybe helping to translate the website/interface into german? :)
What I found is that donations are not requestet...
I wish you all the best

Hello,
I'm glad you like it :-)
The project is active, but as you noticed with only a few active developers.
https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/graphs/code-frequency
The 3.0 release back in April was after an almost 4.5 years of pause. But it was a pretty big update.
https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/releases
You can see the progress since then here:
https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
And can download and try and "edge" (latest and greatest) build from here:
https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace#via-automated-edge-builds
They (usually) are just as stable as the official release.
As for helping:
A German translation of the UI is already available. We do not have a "process" for translating the web site, but someone has translated it in French anyway https://solvespace.com/forum.p...;parent=4177&tt=1640081946
If you find bugs or interesting models that make (edge) SolveSpace slow open issues on GitHub or post them here.
Same for interesting ideas for improvement.
A good place to start is this:
https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/1024
Popularizing SolveSpace by telling people about it also helps - maybe some of them will like it and will be programmers interested to contribute :-)

Okay! I will see what I can do for the project! :)
OT-question: Is in solvespace an function to hollow out a solid model integrated? And when not, maybe it is in the dev-pipeline?
OT-2: Solvespace doesn't have a Telegram-Group ? Maybe a good to communicate faster/easier with the community/devs?

Hollowing out is not implemented. In general it is not a well defined operation.
For convex objects you can do it by saving the file under a new name with just the solid you want enabled/visible. Then in the original file "Link / Assemble..." the copy with a scaling factor less than 1 and a boolean operation "difference". It will hollow itself out.
See my reply here https://solvespace.com/forum.p...;parent=4242&tt=1642764352 for the scaling factor field.
