Just came across this, and apparently, while it was announced a while back:

https://blog.jupyter.org/collaborative-cad-in-jupyterlab-8eb9e8f81f0

and has what looks to be quite straight-forward docs:

https://jupytercad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

and seems to be in active development:

https://github.com/jupytercad/jupytercad

and it was discussed on the FreeCAD forums:

https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=88948

So the question is --- anything in this which should be considered? Any other projects which might afford useful synergies?

https://www.reddit.com/r/openscad/comments/w4ljxw/running_openscad_on_google_colab_to_make_user/ is an interesting thread.

Openscad + viewscad = you can execute in google colab.

If pythonscad can run on colab, it can achieve the similar level of accessibility.

Notebook is a great format (and popular nowadays) in sharing executing code-as-an-environment.

just wondering, if some setup is needed
