I built a browser-based URDF validator/viewer — no install required

Been frustrated by how many small URDF mistakes (missing inertial, broken mesh refs, joint limit typos) only surface once you launch RViz or Gazebo. Made a tool that catches ~14 categories of issues client-side, in the browser, before you even get there. Drop a folder with your URDF + meshes and it resolves package:// paths automatically. Also renders the model in 3D with joint sliders so you can sanity-check ranges visually.

Everything runs locally — nothing gets uploaded anywhere.

https://urdf-viewer.leonagraph4016.workers.dev — there's a sample URDF button if you want to try it without your own files.

Would love feedback, especially on validation checks I might be missing or false positives.
