Diana 2 Glider
✅Includes Aloft – Glider Assistant App for free
Diana 2 and the tools around it represent over a year and a half of solo work — nights, weekends, and more hours than I can count. I’m one person, wearing every hat: 3D modeler, programmer, designer, tester, technical writer, and support team.
I’m proud of what this has become, and I’m committed to making it better. But I’m also human. There are things that aren’t perfect yet, features still on the roadmap... ✅Includes Aloft – Glider Assistant App for free
Diana 2 and the tools around it represent over a year and a half of solo work — nights, weekends, and more hours than I can count. I’m one person, wearing every hat: 3D modeler, programmer, designer, tester, technical writer, and support team.
I’m proud of what this has become, and I’m committed to making it better. But I’m also human. There are things that aren’t perfect yet, features still on the roadmap, mistakes, and corners of Diana that need more polish. I know that, and I’m working on it every day — one fix and one addition at a time, in a way that I can realistically sustain long-term.
If you find something that’s broken or missing, please know it’s not for lack of care — it’s the reality of building something ambitious alone. A kind, specific bug report does more to move things forward than frustration ever will. I read everything, I take it all seriously, and your feedback genuinely shapes what gets built next.
If you are of the mindset that you are purchasing a perfected product that meets the highest levels of real-world precision and technical depth, this may not be the right product for you — although reaching that level is absolutely the long-term goal.
If you purchased and aren’t happy, I will gladly offer a refund — provided the product is uninstalled.
Thank you for flying with me. It means more than you know.
