Is this not just a reskin of https://foldnfly.com/ ?

Their YouTube channel has 750k subscribers and content going back 7 years. I don't think so.

- Airplane name isn't a link (only the image)

- Can't sort the airplanes

- Instructions are video only

Scrape, AI modify, extract text, release new product.

Nothing will ever replace Campbell Morris' Advanced Paper Aircraft Construction volumes 1-3 (or was it 4) for me, but this looks modern and ideal for young and aspiring ballistic cellulose aeronautical engineers.

That's a cool website. Is there a benchmark for these? I noticed some of these have scores ("Flies over x feet!") and some don't.

Mostly I'm just curious, how well does the standard crappy paper airplane fly, which every kid makes in school, how well does it fly relative to some of these world record winners? (Some of which have a lot more folds and measuring and tape than I was expecting!)

Click on the first design, only way to learn how to fold is with a 10 minute YouTube video with plenty of the usual padding to get it to 10 minutes+ and "if you don't have the template" spread throughout.

So basically just buy the $35 worth of books and templates they're selling if you actually want to do this instead of playing and pausing a YT video a hundred times to get through this.

I think I'll fire up Publisher '97 and relive my paper plane memories.

I'd watch a 10+ min video on Publisher '97!

Rather sad at work that it is no longer available to subscription folks.

Come on! They're selling you books in the $20 range and using free (if slightly tedious) videos to promote said books in a polite and non-pushy way. I can't believe this upsets people!

My 6 yr olds favourite website - pretty cool to see it here. The book was great gift for him as well.

- Annoying mail popup that returns after being closed and is not remembered on refresh

- Every action takes 3-10 seconds, including pressing on regular ass links

- There's a big yellow button "Fold planes" on main page that redirects you to the main page?

- Login is a blue text on blue background

- You have to click on the image of the plane to get to it's page, clicking on text doesn't work (small thing, but very unintuitive)

Is there something wrong with my browser, or it's a website?

Same! When I encountered the mail popup it looked like I had accidentally drag-selected the entire website, and got extremely confused

The first thing on the page is the book they sell!

Effective marketing, since the first thing I thought was "$20? Unusual white elephant gift, I may have to get this"

If you're interested the link to the other related site has more step by step instructions: https://www.foldnfly.com/#/1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1

Some reason being the AI messed up?

Impressive and a bit uncanny, since I was just looking for something like this just yesterday, to help the kids fold.
