This version of LibreCAD needs WebAssembly JSPI, which your browser does not enable. Please use an up-to-date Chromium-based browser (Chrome/Edge 137+). Firefox and Safari are not yet supported.

Just enabled, however note that I don't really intend to support this much more, but would happily get this repo to someone who would want to support wasm mode more properly / ideally upstream in longer term

I would think SolveSpace would be a much better target for this. It's got its own GUI system so probably pretty trivial to get running in the browser.

Oh yeah look somebody did it 4 years ago: https://github.com/TrevorDArcyEvans/solve-space-web

Plus SolveSpace is actually a good CAD app, especially for simple stuff. (For complex stuff the only good open source option is FreeCAD.)

Ok, solve space is cool. But let me know when it’s ready to tackle more than a “hello world” level design problem.

This is something that is being done by the core maintainer(s?) now; it’s linked off the main site.
