Building PubMan – Part 2: Alpha Testing Begins!

Today marks a big milestone for PubMan—and we need your help to take it even further.

After extensive internal testing and countless hours spent integrating publishing platforms, we're excited to announce the first public alpha release of PubMan!

Now supporting three platforms:

  • Printables, MakerWorld, and Thingiverse

With this alpha version, you can now:

  • Draft, publish, and update designs across all three platforms
  • Use a growing set of tools to manage cross-platform metadata
  • Enjoy early features like:
    • A Markdown-based text editor
    • Per-platform category selection
    • Design license mapping

We're also laying the groundwork for more robust design file management. Right now, PubMan supports STL, PNG, and JPG uploads, with 3MF support coming soon. Future updates will include image editing and print profile customization for each platform.

Releases of PubMan can be found on GitHub
