Feature: front opening

[CasperVerswijvelt]

I vibe-coded this 'front opening feature' and put the setting for it under a 'Show advanced settings' button together with the changes from #46 to keep the main settings simple. The curves of the opening are rendered a bit weird it seems, but it's completely functional for the rest.

Would this be something you'd like a pull request for? Source currently located here: https://github.com/CasperVerswijvelt/skapa

I really like it! I'm trying to figure out the best way to add advanced settings (see other open issues), would love to a front opening option once that's done. Need to find time to come up with the right UX, will ping you here once it's ready!

Hah, I can't stop playing with it. It's really good

Glad you like it! I'll post a pic tonight of how I'm using it at home

Some things I don't like or don't find ideal about current implementation:

• Side offset of 0 creates sharp corners, ideally the 'extruded' hole correctly wraps around the radius (Claude had a hard enough time creating the current version)
  
• Setting a front opening radius that is larger than the 'Side offset' value currently limits the radius of the top corners of the front opening, creating inconsistent radii of the front opening. In practice, I think it does kinda work, but I wonder if it would be better to have consistent radii once previous point is handled better, and letting the corner radius 'spill over' to the sides
  
• Some sliders limit the allowed range of other sliders, e.g. width and side offset both determine what the max opening radius can be, width determines max side offset, height determines max bottom offset, ... Currently, if a slider affects another slider, the range of that slider is adjusted in real-time and if the value lies outside the range, it is clamped to be within. It works, but I find it slightly weird that other sliders can move due to a changing input range when I'm changing another.
• Side offset and bottom offset terms are a bit too technical for the simplicity of the tool, but I found them too valuable to not include
• Overall very easy to create ugly configurations, but I guess that's just a trade-off when allowing more configuration options

[CasperVerswijvelt]

Messed about a bit more and got the 'opening' to wrap around the sides correctly, making a lot more configurations possible.
It does get a bit sluggish in some situations, unfortunately

Thanks for experimenting with this! Don't worry too much about performance, I can deal with that later. I really like the idea of the opening propagating along the sides!
