Hosting/publishing a shape?

Alasdair McAndrew · 12 Oct 2020, 05:15

I have a few shapes I'd like to share with some people who don't themselves use OpenJSCad - all I want to do is make the finished shapes available for them to play with. I do in fact host my own webserver on a VPS, but most of it is off-line while I re-build bits of it I managed to destroy.

So I'm looking for a temporary solution: somewhere I can put up a shape that can be viewed by others. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Alasdair

there is also a nice effort from one of the users.

https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/issues/666

it is a self hosted example. Maybe that is the direction you want ?

@hrgdavor Many thanks - I do in fact have a gist account, which I've used only a very little bit. I guess the main issue would be in reading the JavaScript files necessary for OpenJSCAD. All it really needs is the dist/min.js file and some of the min.css file as well, maybe... Thank you again.
