Initial release of GearGen.XYZ
Initial release of GearGen.XYZ. This is a web application for creating gears, gearsets, and geartrains. It is a work in progress and will be updated regularly. Starting capacilities are external spur gears, and positioning the gears in a geartrain in a custom x,y grid system.
2026-01-10Added Features
- • Common and preferred modules.
- • Expanding gear report with data.
- • Geartrains in cascading tabs.

Known Issues
- • Background is not infinite scrolling.
- • Mobile display needs a please use on desktop version message.
- • Modules and pressure angles are not locking for each gearset/geartrain.
- • Tooth thickness measurements at negative profile shifts are not computing correctly.
