Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • BabylonJS

    Babylon.js is a powerful, beautiful, simple, and open game and rendering engine packed into a friendly JavaScript framework.

    I've been playing around with Three.js lately and it's awesome. Seems like Babylon.js is also worth exploring.

  • three.js

    JavaScript 3D Library.

  • 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.

  • A-Frame

    :a: Web framework for building virtual reality experiences.

    I think the easiest framework to start with is A-Frame

  • react-three-fiber

    🇨🇭 A React renderer for Three.js

    If you already know React, another simplified version of Three.js is react-three-fiber. I've not used this myself, and I'm not convinced it provides the abstractions are as helpful as those of A-Frame, but there seems to be a decent community that are happy with it.

  • polygonjs

    node-based WebGL design tool

    Maybe polygonjs (which I'm running) could be interesting to you. It's fully javascript, and based on threejs. It's also framework agnostic, so could be used with react, vuejs or vanilla js.

  • 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.
