@ucimo you might want to take a look at jscad-now https://github.com/danmarshall/jscad-now

I'd like to upgrade this to use Vite (or another bundler) so that we can use TypeScript.

@z3dev thank you, that is really helpful!

Hello, just announcing yet another way to code your jscad stuff:
https://observablehq.com/@danmarshall/hello-jscad

Observable is a "magic notebook" for JavaScript. There is a learning curve to it, but it's very powerful.
One idea that makes this a different dev experience is the fact that you can have a page with multiple Jscad views at the same time. So you can work on coding a sub-component part while also seeing the pieces all together.

I also needed the docs during the downtime. My wish would be to have the docs in the GitHub repo.

This is really cool! I have seen quite a few people asking about Three.js myself included. It seems like a good renderer to me, I'm not sure why some people may not like it. I already like the features you've shown such as wireframe. I would also like to try different lighting effects and there seems to be a large community to provide features like that.

The regl-renderer here in jscad is pretty snappy too, but I wouldn't know how to extend it. There is also a good regl community, I should look into that.

Thanks for sharing the conversion snippet. Can you also share the code to create your 3D grid and viewer?

Great idea! However it seems that as of the last couple days I am unable to reach https://www.jscad.xyz
Also since it was down, I was unable to get to the documentation. Is there a copy of it in GitHub?

Hi Rich, hot off the presses, I just created a tool called jscad-now:
https://github.com/danmarshall/jscad-now

I hit all the same problems you reported, and so I created this tool. It seems to work for me and I hope it does for you too. Let me know what you think.
