  • For example, because I know React, I was able to code a 3D application that uses ThreeJS and place 3D objects on the screen instead of divs, using the same methodologies just like in a normal web app. You can see other rendering targets at https://github.com/chentsulin/awesome-react-renderer. There are some pretty interesting ones out there.
