- A sample (or a small portfolio of sample) images would help people grasp what this does. Or a sample project.
(It’s not like it’s super-complicated, but people like pictures.)
- You could let people post public inserts for specific games, start building up a library.
- I can't find a photo of what it does. I'm on mobile so I can't use it according to your popup.
Your subreddit also doesn't include even one photo or screenshot. I would expect to see both for this product.
Is it useful? I don't even know what it does yet.

- For anyone (like me) wondering what this is. Foamcore is foam with paper on each end (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foamcore)
Looks like people use it to organize board games: https://www.orderofgamers.com/abomination-foamcore-v1/
- Very neat tool!
I've looked into cutting foam for board game storage, but I don't love the 5mm or so thickness. For games with lots of different little bits and pieces, the many walls to divide many containers add up and take a surprising amount of space inside the game's box.
Short of 3D printing storage solutions, I've found an online tuck-box generator for decks of cards of any size that looks neat, and another site with advice for assembling them:

- This looks nice! Why don't the dividers snap to the closest edge automatically? Feels like that's a lot of manual labor that could just be done automatically.
Is there a way to output an SVG? I'd love to send this to my laser or CNC cutter and have it cut automatically.

- Lots of suggestions already, my only suggestion is that it would be nice if this could generate tabs and slots. I'm more likely to laser cut or 3D print inserts, so a tab and slot would make assembly easier.
Well that and to generate STL files for 3D printing.
- It'd be great to have some preset box sizes for some common games and maybe some pre-done layouts. Now that I'm thinking about it, some game elements would be handy to build around, ie a deck of cards or similar.

- I didn't know what foamcore inserts were until now, bu tthis is useful. I have lots of broken boardgame boxes

- You really need some samples, examples or visual on the home page.

- That site's so damn responsive! What are you using to build it?
