  • lightgl.js

    A lightweight WebGL library

  • I like https://github.com/evanw/lightgl.js

    learnt from https://jamie-wong.com/2016/08/05/webgl-fluid-simulation/#im...

      the elegant lightgl.js, which is an abstraction layer on top of WebGL that makes it much nicer to work with. Unlike THREE.js, it doesn’t make any assumptions about you wanting any concept of a camera or lighting or that you’re working in 3D at all.

  • gellang

  • I will warn that it's mostly been rewritten at this point, but most changes haven't made it to the repo due to being held up by my current employer's legal team. Most of the code is also poorly written due to it mostly being written during half asleep/burned out state. With all the "don't judge me to hard"'s out of the way, https://gitlab.com/Cieric/gellang

    I don't currently have plans to integrate with an existing game engine, just my own. I have however considered in the past integrating with Godot, so that would be my first target if I do ever attempt it.

    I also was assuming no one would use my project professionally so the idea was to be a superset of glsl so any glsl code could be pasted into a script and be compiled without any modifications. That would aid in debugging gpu code in an actual debugger without needing to rewrite it.

    Once all the paper work is finished additional updates should start rolling out again since it would just be reviewing the new changes not everything again. Hope your expectations are in line, I'm not trying to under or over sell my project. I was just wanted to fix my own gripes with the projects of the time.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • whisper-turbo

    Cross-Platform, GPU Accelerated Whisper 🏎️

  • Even just looking at the ability to accelerate llms in the browser on any device without an installation is awesome

    For example: fleetwood.dev has a really cool project that does audio transcription in browser on the GPU: https://whisper-turbo.com/#

  • gpu.js

    GPU Accelerated JavaScript

  • Very cool project.

    I learned WebGL three years ago but before I dove into the underlying concepts I used GPU.js [1] to quickly prototype my project. Eventually, the abstraction prevented necessary performance optimizations so I switched to vanilla GLSL and these vanilla GLSL "shaders" were initially ejected from GPU.js.

    Writing JS code then looking at the generated WebGPU output is a great way to get familiar with WebGPU. Thanks for this.
