Found this and thought it was an interesting alternative to coding in OpenSCAD:

Hoping it’ll be useful for my Kickstarter.

After experimenting it with a bit, while the interface is quite nice, I found the way it re-defined OpenSCAD code awkward, and how to extend it inscrutable, so have instead switched to using:

which can easily be run locally, and allows one to instantly see the OpenSCAD representation.
