Description
I have been doing some experiments to run polyscope in web using emscripten.
However, as I was expecting when I started the experiments, it's not possible to run any render on web because polyscope targets OpenGL3.
Are there any plans to provide a GLES3 backend? According to emscripten, GLES3 can be matched to WebGL, and I expect that with a GLES3 backend, it would be possible to run polyscope on web.

Research direction
Begin by reviewing polyscope's OpenGL3 rendering assumptions and Emscripten's GLES3/WebGL compatibility. Done would require an agreed implementation plan and a working GLES3 or WebGL backend; the issue names no files or tests.
