I’ve had a post from @Tokoloshe bookmarked about ToolKaiser for quite awhile. It’s used for making custom foam inserts from pictures of tools. Today, I finally had a reason to use it but when I went to the site, there was no longer a link to the app.
You can still access it at LayOut (toolkaiser.herokuapp.com) but it looks like it’s not going to stay free. Based off a post on Reddit, it sounds like they plan to launch a KickStarter in August.
This is the popup when you open it.
Bummer.
Free is a hard business model to sustain.
Hopefully this will be positive and not that new word a sibling’s kid taught me: Enshitification.
He wanted to disable it this month, but I am glad he didn’t. I will definitely support the Kickstarter.
It’s good at what it does. I wouldn’t object to paying a modest amount to keep using it.
Yea, I’m willing to back the Kickstarter if the price is reasonable.
Hi, I think the app is still available. Just navigate to the ‘About’ tab on the main website.
@skudekar I can see you have been active around here. Thanks so much for developing ToolKaiser. 
One hint for your website: You need some information like contact details etc. as to not run into legal troubles via the Digital Services Act in the EU. 
Hi Philipp, thanks so much for supporting toolKaiser. I am no longer the owner of toolKaiser. I sold it just a few months back, but I will convey your message to new owner.
Oh, interesting. Thanks a lot for that information. Maybe financially the right decision. Must have been hard to let go.
Well, to be completely transparent, given the effort I put in to build toolKaiser, I made very little on the sale. But it was the right thing to do because then at least someone will be able to keep it running and push the tech ahead, because I know it is valuable to the community.
