I think such an element would be welcome, and make it easier to add 3D elements to websites. A while ago I wanted to share some 3D models with people, but there weren't any good options. I found a couple sites that lets you upload .obj

That's strange. I don't use their app myself, but their Outdoor map style on their website is probably my favorite OSM map style. They even render hiking trails with the correct color from OSM data, which is unusual. Take this are

I don't like that they refer to web apps and browser when they actually mean Chromium apps on the web and Chromium based browsers. Reminds me of a certain embrace, extend strategy.
