Hello, I have been thinking that it would be great to have CadQuery running in browser because that would make sharing of customizable designs super easy.

Googling the possibilities I came across this project. I got ineterested what is the situation of the project? Did you run in some obstacles you couldn’t over come? Or have you found alternative ways?

I have taken a break from this project since Pyodide is still under heavy development and the build system changes with every release. There were also some strange errors (e.g., debug vs. release builds, differences between Emscripten versions, CMake problems), most of which might be due to the fact that I do not know much about the toolchains :) Last time I checked, if certain OCCT packages were included in the OCP build, the Python package would not load in the browser anymore. Maybe I will try again once Pyodide is a bit more stable.

At the moment, I suggest opencascade.js or CascadeStudio if you would like to use some CAD models on the web. In case you find a better solution, I would also be interested to hear about it :)
