Regarding the optimization of the effect, I found an issue on the three.js GitHub repository: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/14104 The alpha channel issue seems to be a difficult problem, which has been present since 2018. At the end of the discussion, a solution proposed by a contributor is not to modify the UnrealBloomPass but to blend the source texture and target texture in the shader.
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! 😮.

I looked at it seriously for content authoring but gave it up.
The big problem is you cannot import images, textures, 3-d models and such from ordinary tools. You have something like constructive solid geometry to work with but only so much and there is a slider you can use to set the number of players and the more players the less geometry you can use.
I want to make worlds based in photographs (particularly pano and stereo) and art. McDonalds needs to put a Coca-Cola logo on the side of the cup. Either way it is a non-starter.
HW supports collaboration (more than one person shares the world) but https://aframe.io/ lets me make the content I want. If I have to choose one or the other I am going to pick the second.
My take on Meta Quest is that it seems highly successful as a gaming environment based on an app store but is skews towards single-player experiences. Like a lot of AAA games, the excellent Asgard’s Wrath 2 has some multiplayer tacked on but it is all meaningless like leaderboards and the occasional ghost that shows up in a procedurally generated dungeon.
Of course, Meta wants to make multiplayer experiences but somehow they just can’t do it.

You might already be familiar, but a GPU.js backend can provide some speedups via good old WebGL -- no need for WebGPU just yet!

Project mention: That is some extremely impressive water physics, especialy for a place you only visit once. How did they do it? (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR 4.2 WORLD QUEST) | /r/Genshin_Impact | 2023-12-02It kinda reminds me of this fluid simulation website. The site is about a computer graphics technique that simulates the motion and appearance of fluids such as water, smoke or fire. You can use your mouse to move around the screen to see the simulation, also can change how the fluid simulation works by adjusting the sliders in the control panel next to it.

This does sound very interesting. I started playing with https://two.js.org/ for a browser game but the event system proved a challange. The typescript focus also looks promising. Will give it a try.
I use this heavily https://visgl.github.io/react-map-gl/ and it's amazing for building complex maps with rich overlays, but you won't get a search box for countries out of the box.
