rapport: trimmed the competitor-positioning paragraph and the tools-i-wanted framing, just the feature list and the free/self-hostable facts now.\n\ndossier: reflects that it left the rhino plugin behind and is now its own standalone desktop app (own geometry kernel, own rust/wasm rendering engine, own file format), instead of the old rhino-vs-open-source-cad justification.\n\nopenbureau: reframed as the platform the other two are built on rather than just a collection point for finished tools, and named as still taking shape.

a cad for early-phase architectural design. walls, doors, windows, slabs, stairs, roofs, levels, and a 2d drawing layer that feels like a 2d drawing layer. one semantic model as the single source of truth — plan, section, elevation, and 3d view are all derived from it, not separate drawings kept in sync by hand. it started as a rhino plugin; it's now its own standalone desktop app, with its own geometry kernel, rendering engine, and file format — no dependency on software you don't own. what exists is either expensive proprietary software, or full bim systems built for office-scale documentation that don't fit how you actually think during a sketch. open source bim tools live in blender or freecad and follow a 3d-first logic — useful, but not how you draw a plan in 2d. dossier is the tool i wanted to use myself, during my master's and in my own work. open data, agpl-licensed, part of the openbureau suite.
