That seemed like an interesting idea, that if ported to Android I'd be interested in trying out. Especially if it could integrate with part lists for official sets. But as I kept reading I saw:

Quote:
It is also advised to remote any Duplo and Technic bricks from the pile, as the app doesn't currently detect those bricks.


And while not supporting Duplo probably doesn't matter (these are the giant toddler sized bricks not used with anything else); many medium+ sized regular lego models do use some Technic pieces (Bricks/Beams/Frames connected with pins/modified bricks) in places where it results in a stronger model.

That oversight is large enough that I'm concerned that this isn't the work of an actual Lego fan, but rather someone who just wanted to create a viralable computer vision project for resume padding which is unlikely to become feature complete or be enhanced over time.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
