Hi HN, I've been working on this tool for the last couple of months, and I feel like you guys might appreciate it.

I love OpenSCAD, but it's showing it's age. So I decided to build a luxury version with VS Code's Editor (with Intellisense!) and a WebAssembly-port of OpenCASCADE (the same BREP CAD Kernel in FreeCAD and CadQuery). Everything is client-side, from the model compilation to the deflate-encoded shareable URLs. You can even install the editor to your computer (or even Chromebook!)

Given the recent news from Autodesk making everyone skittish about the future mobility of their .STEP files, I figure that CascadeStudio can provide another place for people to edit and share their 3D Models and BREP designs.

Thanks for taking a look!
