Comparison against other libraries
We can add some charts in our README to compare the performance of manifold to other libraries. We have some data comparing against OpenSCAD but it was a bit outdated (we got some performance improvement after that and did not care about tracking the data).
Some libraries to compare against:
- OpenSCAD
- CGAL
- JSCAD
I can write some code to generate the OpenSCAD and JSCAD version of the same js/python script. However, I have no idea about CGAL.
Sounds good. OpenSCAD uses CGAL, so they aren't entirely independent. I assume this is what you're referring to as outdated (also not terribly precise). In addition we have a CGAL comparison contributed to our library.
OK so is this the only blocker for release 2.0.0?
This feels more nice-to-have than release-blocker to me. For the release, I'd really like to publish npm and pypi packages, which means I'd like to translate and test our examples so we know those bindings are working. Would you be interested in making a modified colab based on this to test our python examples?
Yes I can have a look at this.
Also, your comment on missing APIs in our bindings is a pretty high priority too.

Do we need pyrender for preview? It seems that trimesh already provides this nicely. Here is an example.
Oh, nice; I didn't realize that. Sure, that sounds fine for now.
probably not needed for now
