WBO VS PixiJS

As a maintainer of an open source JavaScript infinite canvas application [1], I was very interested, and now I am a little disappointed. The set of supported objects on the canvas is quite minimal.

Could a self-hosted whiteboard work? * Excalidraw allows images to be inserted * WBO has a built-in grid mode (but no ruler)

You can share and use a Scrumblr only with the link. But no possibility to import other than opening the same board again (and exporting, printing the page as PDF). Same with the whiteboard WBO, but much more complete and polished one (and has SSL).

Aside from kanban boards, a virtual whiteboard might also work well: * Excalidraw (live) * WBO (live)

A whiteboard thing? Like WBO or Spacedeck

Fluffyboard and WBO - I prefer Fluffyboard because it has an Android app.

This one seems to work well: https://wbo.ophir.dev/

If you're into video game dev, then PixiJS is something you need to know about. It's a HTML5 game engine that provides a lightweight 2D library across all devices. This latest update has a new package structure, custom builds, graphics API overhaul, and lots more. You can read about all these changes in the PixiJS Migration Guide. Also big congrats to PixiJS for being part of the open source community for ten years now! 😮.

For full web games (yeah, I come from the web, so I try to make my family proud), I will recommend PixiJS. It has great support for TypeScript and works very well with Vite. It's lighter than other game engines, so it's better for web games. But you will need to do a lot of things by yourself.

PixiJS (MIT/TypeScript) https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs

That approach works well for what I was trying to archive but I am planning on adding more functionality into the website. Hence in this article, let me rebuild the project using Pixi.js and it’s React binding, React Pixi.

There's also a bunch of Javascript game engines: https://github.com/collections/javascript-game-engines

Of those, BabylonJS seems pretty powerful for 3D: https://www.babylonjs.com/games/

Or PixiJS for 2D: https://pixijs.com/

https://pixijs.com/ is more of a 2D rendering framework, but powerful and very fast
