Embed on other domains? #307

Does Math3d have—or would it be possible to create—an API for embedding Math3d, similar to Desmos's API https://www.desmos.com/api/v1.6/docs/index.html ?(Not in an iframe)

Motivation: I'm making interactive videos with embedded graphs, see e.g. https://www.math.brown.edu/ysulyma/f21-math180/15/4.html (second and third videos). For 2d I use Desmos. For 3d examples, I've thrown together some very basic 3d graphing in THREE.js, but it would be hugely helpful to be able to use Math3d instead. However, I need to be able to manipulate the elements in the scene via Javascript.

(Sorry to not be of help, but I wanted to chime in and say that those videos are super cool! I'd be excited to see Math3d help out with 3D videos :))

@ysulyma math3d doesn't have anything like that right now, and to be honest, probably won't soon.

The learning curve is definitely higher, but one option would be to use the underlying graphics library that math3d uses: https://github.com/unconed/mathbox

(A challenge there is that the mathbox library isn't really maintained any more. Really I see that as one of the biggest challenges for math3d moving forward, and I'm looking into ways to try and modernize mathbox.)
