This looks interesting, thanks for sharing! I've played around a bit in Tinkercad (too limited) and Fusion 360 (complicated) but haven't found something that feels right yet. I bookmarked this to follow what you find!
I'd suggest giving Onshape a look, it's the more user friendly and intuitive of the ones I've tried yet.
If you have an iPad with a Apple Pencil, Shapr3D has a really neat UI (it uses touch and pencil interactions distinctly) but having to pay a subscription just for exporting was too much of an ask for me. They seem to have different pricing now with a free tier and a Windows app (I don't have an iPad anymore) so I might cover it later on.
