I have released version 0.9 of `cq-studio`, my hot-reloading server for using the excellent #YACV viewer to interact with models you build in #CadQuery (or #build123d) with #Python code, programmatically. It lets you edit your model code module(s) in any editor/IDE you like, and the models are re-rendered whenever changes to your files are saved.

You can install it with just `pipx install cq-studio`. If you've never used pipx before, it requires a tiny amount of setup to add the programs it installs to your file search PATH environment variable.
CadQuery is an alternative to the perhaps better-known OpenSCAD package. CadQuery uses a more advanced CAD kernel than OpenSCAD, but they both have their uses.
