不只停在 idea，走到 Meka。
我是 Cindy Young，工業設計出身，做了十多年機構工程。IdeaMeka 的名字有兩個層次：ID + ME 是我的背景——工業設計與機構工程；Idea + Meka 是我在做的事——把概念真正做出來。
I trained in industrial design and spent more than a decade in mechanical engineering. The name works on two levels: ID + ME is my background; Idea + Meka is what I do — making concepts real.
做出來的方式有很多種。過去是實體產品，現在也包括用 vibe coding 做的工具。
There are many ways to make things real. It used to be physical products; now it also includes tools I build with vibe coding.
