Lathecode Editor UI Modification

[jherbert7621]

As we have no discussions in lathecode repository, I present my modification here....
....first the typical disclosure: I am no programmer, just have some ideas and Gemini helps me to realise them.....

I like lathecode very much, but IMHO the latest release seems a bit overloaded and needs too many steps to get through and use it....

For that reason I tried to consolidate as much as possible to separate menues like Parameter Manger, Tool Manager, Parametric Part Generator (like Samples) and Manual Part Generator (adding/modifying segments (like Profile Designer).
I have added dark mode display which I prefer....just check it out...
Load/Save files or backups to local storage and load from STL or save to STL are available in drop down menu pressing [...] below editor.

I have achieved this by just modifying following files: index.html, main.ts and style.css posted below:

lathecode_UI_2026-08-31.zip

Compilation using node leads to the resulting single file index.html which simply can be run locally below:

index_2026-08-31.html

Please try it out, I hope some things are useful....

Hi @jherbert7621, this is awesome, thanks for sharing.

I am wondering how you would run this code? Does it need to be installed locally?

[jherbert7621]

...no installation needed...just open index_2026-08-31.html and lathecode will start in your browser

Thank you. Very easy... my problem was that I was trying to look at it on my iPad!

Hi,

I am wondering if we could save files to be reopened later?

[jherbert7621]

...of course....
