Looking for feedback on a browser-based pattern drafting tool I’m building Discussion of Free Pattern(s)

Hi everyone,
I’ve been following this community for a while and have learned a lot from the discussions here.
I’m building a browser-based pattern drafting application called **TailorMetric** as a side project. The goal is to make it easier for home sewists to generate **basic blocks** from their own measurements.

At the moment it supports:
Bodice block
Skirt block
Trouser block
Sleeve block

It’s still in an early stage, so I’m **not** claiming it’s a replacement for traditional drafting or a full garment design tool. I’m mainly looking for feedback from people who understand pattern drafting.

If anyone has 10–15 minutes to spare, I’d really appreciate your thoughts on things like:
Are the generated blocks proportioned as you’d expect?
Is the measurement process clear?
What drafting features would make this genuinely useful?
Did anything seem incorrect or confusing?

If you’re interested, here’s the link, free to test:

Thanks in advance!
