In case you're curious about this kind of stuff,
the only thing I was able to find is
   https://github.com/zaphod42/PostscriptJS
I took a look at it, but couldn't quite figure out what his Viewer.js
code is doing (not too familiar with js), and his ps.html test page
that uses it isn't working (for me, when I just tried pointing my
browser to an installed copy). I tried messing around with it
a bit, but without any success.
   But if it did plug-and-play "just work" (just like
https://viewerjs.org/ works for pdf), then that would be what
I'm looking for.
