 - Autocomplete of imports

 - Responsive layout (but editing on iOS is still a pain, will address that soon). On small screens editor and viewer are stacked onto each other, while on larger screens they can be side-by-side

 - Model /home fs in shared state. have two clear paths: /libraries for builtins, and /home for user data. State pointing to /libraries paths needs not store the data except if there's overrides (flagged as modifications in the file picker)
 - Drag and drop of files (SCAD, STL, etc) and Zip archives. For assets, auto insert the corresponding import.
-- Proper PWA w/ File opening / association to *.scad files
+- Fuller PWA support w/ link Sharing, File opening / association to *.scad files...

 - Setup [OPENSCADPATH](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Libraries#Setting_OPENSCADPATH) env var w/ Emscripten to ensure examples that include assets / import local files will run fine.
 - Bundle more examples (ask users to contribute)
