Really nice!

Do you have plans to release it for desktop (maybe using Electron)? One of my main complains about tools like Tinkercad is that they are browser-based, and it's easier/faster to have everything local. That's one of the reasons that I moved to OpenSCAD



Browser based is not opposite to being local. Given it is open source I guess you can self-host locally on your computer.

Technically no, but in that sense everything cloud-based is local in some machine.

I wouldn't consider it "local" if I need to run a web server (!), "upload" if I want to open file or "download" to save it locally. This is client-server approach where both my machine acts as both client and server.
