InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
For anyone who is willing to use a webapp, I like drawio[0]. You can download locally[1] and self host (I just use the python webserver).
While finding the Github, I see they now actually package an Electron application, so that is probably worth exploring[2].

Yeah this is neat but it is 90% not done and that is being generous.
For a open source path tracer with a full glTF compatible material model and lighting and runs in the browser check out:

Or if you want hardcore features look at Moonray from Dreamworks:

there's csg, but that's just very simple boolean operations https://codesandbox.io/s/csg-house-y52tmt try this library for instance https://github.com/gkjohnson/three-bvh-csg
Project mention: Show HN: Volume rendering 3D data in Three.js and GLSL | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-21Author of the WebGL volume rendering tutorial [0] you mentioned in the readme here, great work!
Working in WebGL/JS is nice since you can deploy it everywhere, but it can be really hard for graphics programming as you've found because there are very few tools for doing real GPU/graphics debugging for WebGL. The only one I know of is [1], and I've had limited success with it.
WebGPU is a great next step, it provides a modern GPU API (so if you want to learn Metal, DX12, Vulkan, they're more familiar), and modern GPU functionality like storage buffers and compute shaders, not to mention lower overhead and better performance. The WebGPU inspector [2] also looks to provide a GPU profiler/debugger for web that aims to be on par with native options. I just tried it out on a small project I have and it looks really useful. Another benefit of WebGPU is that it maps more clearly to Metal/DX12/Vulkan, so you can use native tools to profile it through Chrome [3].
I think it would be worth learning C++ and a native graphics API, you'll get access to the much more powerful graphics debugging & profiling features provided by native tools (PIX, RenderDoc, Nvidia Nsight, Xcode, etc.) and functionality beyond what even WebGPU exposes.
Personally, I have come "full circle": I started with C++ and OpenGL, then DX12/Vulkan/Metal, then started doing more WebGL/WebGPU and JS/TS to "run everywhere", and now I'm back writing C++ but using WebGL/WebGPU and compiling to WebAssembly to still everywhere (and native for tools).
With WebGPU, you could program in C++ (or Rust) and compile to both native (for access to debuggers and tools), and Wasm (for wide deployment on the web). This is one of the aspects of WebGPU that is most exciting to me. There's a great tutorial on developing WebGPU w/ C++ [4], and a one on using it from JS/TS [5].

Project mention: Hacktoberfest 2023: Where Open Source Enthusiasts of All Levels Unite | dev.to | 2023-09-27In its illustrious decade, Hacktoberfest has transformed from a modest initiative to a global festival. Last year alone, more than 145,000 developers across 150 countries merged more than 300,000 pull requests. Projects like Kubernetes, React, and TensorFlow have all been beneficiaries of this collective effort. The #hacktoberfest hashtag has become a beacon on social media, illuminating the vast expanse of the open-source universe.
