In React, there are different libraries for rendering 3D. In this article, we will focus on how to use the Three.js Library, React Three Fiber library, and the React Three Drei library for creating 3D objects.

I have been using react-three-fiber and react-three-drei - the react version of this project. The examples are over whelming and wonderful

One of my favorites is the image gallery. I modified this so that clicking on an image take you into another room (gallery).

https://github.com/pmndrs/drei is a collection of examples and helpers.

Most impressive to me is the one using a GLTF model, video textures on text, reflections and more. A standalone version is

But even more impressive is the sandbox showing the not-very-many-lines-of-code at

A lot to putting a layer on top of threejs and I have run a fair number of head scratchers. But still the potential is huge. Using threejs has completely changed the way I look at website development. So if you are a svelte person I would definitely look into this.

the shader is here if you want it in vanilla https://github.com/pmndrs/drei/blob/master/src/core/Outlines.tsx though keep in mind it needs some additional work to support skeletons and instances, that's the code in the layout effect.

the eco system gives you so much freedom, especially when it comes to properly align, display your models, and to make them look nice. there are dozens of components for staging, lighting, soft shadows, you would miss out on all of that https://github.com/pmndrs/drei

there are more pain points than can be enumerated. i think you should take a look here https://github.com/pmndrs/drei and pmndrs in general. also the eco system it has covered so far.

there's a whole eco system around three in react and next. it starts with react-three-fiber, drei has tons of helpers, and then there's three-next for when you need 100% lighthouse, persisting canvas across routes etc.

Definitely ThreeJS and specifically React Three Fiber. React Three Fiber is an amazing wrapper around three that greatly reduces boilerplate. And because of how modular react is, the community has grown massively. With lots of helper components in the Drei library, and amazing examples in the author's Twitter. The Codesandbox is also a goldmine of example. And one of the best-produced courses by Bruno Simon to help you get started. He is the creator of this famous portfolio site.

I picked the stack I did to expand upon my skill set. In particular, I wanted to brush up on react-three-fiber, react-spring & drei.

Semantify was made for content creators, marketers, and anyone looking to enhance their long-form written content. Currently only supporting MDX-based content, It automates the enrichment of MDX blog posts by adding AI-generated Q&A sections that summarize the content, and recommendations for semantically similar posts. This not only makes the content more accessible and engaging but also helps in establishing deeper connections between different posts, ultimately keeping the reader engaged for longer periods.

> We thought this would be a no-brainer and that there would be some CMS/SSG libraries out there that made this Markdown conversion process easy and facilitated integration with any number of frontend frameworks.

You thought correct:

- NextJS MDX integration: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/conf...

The example above uses react-markdown, but you can use any library you want to render the markdown content. You can also use a transform function to modify the markdown content during the build process. Here is an example that uses MDX to compile the markdown content.

MDX is a js library that allows us to import a markdown file as a react component and use it anywhere.

/blog/ - This directory contains all the markdown files, of your site blogs, you can simply add a new blog by using markdown, or simply remove a blog file by deleting its file, you can combine the markdown with MDX, resulting a well-written blog post.

Hey HN!

This is a little personal project I've been hacking on for the past ~week, somewhat inspired by this blog post [0] ("My Wonderful HTML Email Workflow").

Basically I just wanted an easy way to create email templates in MDX [1] (Markdown + JSX), using React Email [2] components.

It's still a bit of a work in progress (and a bit slow at the moment) but wanted to share in case anyone else finds it interesting!

That’s why formats like Markdown (MD) and MDX (MD with support for JSX) are so popular for use cases like documentation, knowledge bases, or technical blogs. They allow you to use any kind of custom formatting or elements and then process the content for publishing. On top of that, they’re great for implementing a docs-as-code approach, where your documentation lives right beside your code (i.e. in a Git repo).
