Description
CargoSum is a set of free freight calculators that run in your browser: no sign-up, no quote form, nothing sent to a server. The core is a 3D container load planner: enter mixed cartons and crates, and it packs them into a 20ft, 40ft, 40HC, 45HC or custom container, shows weight balance and center of gravity, and gives you a shareable link. Also: CBM, chargeable weight, pallet loading, NMFC freight class, LTL linear feet, fuel surcharge and demurrage. In English, German, Japanese and Korean.

Could you build this?
Partial While client-side 3D rendering with Three.js is straightforward, solving 3D bin packing with physical constraints (weight balance, center of gravity, load bearing) requires non-trivial optimization algorithms.
What it would actually take: The frontend can be built with Three.js/React-Three-Fiber. The hard part is the 3D Bin Packing Problem (3D-BPP), which is NP-hard; achieving fast, realistic packing in-browser requires implementing complex spatial heuristics (e.g., maximal spaces, genetic algorithms) and physics-based load distribution checks without stalling the main thread.
