With all the cloudy talk going on here. I thought it might be a good place to bring up a little side project I put together a while back.

This project allows FreeCAD to run on a headless docker container server. It also replaces portions of the FreeCAD UI with JavaScript html buttons.

Feel free to take a peak.

Interesting. Have you considered integrating it into a desktop app?

FreeCAD is already a desktop app. All I was doing was bringing it to the browser in a way that might be useful.

I mean the Web part. FreeCAD has the browser shipped with Qt. So you could start the web server as a part of FreeCAD initialization on open it inside FreeCAD. Have you checked out this thread: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=48611

Is https://justyour.parts/ still the only/best way to do online parts viewing in 2022?

It's so slow for me I'm not able to properly explore it, can you give it a link to have it load a FCStd file? Like https://justyour.parts/githubURL.fcstd

Are there any plans to move/upgrade the JustYour.parts server to make it more usable? Is it money or time that's the barrier? Or a combination?

I know https://web-cad.org/ now supports FCStd import, but that's on a per-user/session basis with no storage/sharing of links.

I also spotted https://modelviewer.dev/ https://github.com/google/model-viewer but it doesn't seem to like files I export from FreeCAD

I realise it's a bit old a search suggested It seems to be the more recent ones on the topic. It contains some history & some of the people involved in developing the solutions @vejmarie @mmiscool


This slightly more recent post https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic ... 8#p347798 contains links to the previous threads on the topic, dating back to ~2014 I thought it was most useful to resurrect this one.

Cadracks seems to have died in around 2019 https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 1&start=40
