   A gallery of graphs built with React and D3.js▲297

   Many JS libraries exist to build graphs on the web (Vega, chartJS, Plotly...). They allow to make charts quickly. But you lose flexibility: you're limited by the options they offer. I just created a gallery with hundreds of graphs made with d3.js and React. - Examples are split by graph types - They all come with explanation and code sandboxes - Gradual complexity to ease the learning curve It took me ages to create this project! Feedback welcome!

   Graphite, a Blender-inspired 2D procedural design Rust app▲785

   For the past three years I've been building what I hope will be the next Blender, tackling the lack of any good 2D design or image editing tools outside the Adobe monopoly. This was our first year participating in Google Summer of Code and this Q3 update includes the big payoff from that, covering the most progress we've made so far as a project. If you're a Rust dev, consider getting involved as we apply for the next GSoC in the new year— you could be our intern next summer :) Q3 progress report: https://graphite.rs/blog/graphite-progress-report-q3-2024/

   An ASCII 3D Rendering Engine▲211

   Render 3D models (OBJ, glTF, GLB, STL, .vox) as ASCII art — in the browser, in React or Vue, or straight in your terminal. A three.js-style API with no WebGL and no canvas: just text in a single <pre>.

    A Node Based Editor for Three.js Shading Language (TSL)▲7

    Three.js recently introduced TSL (Three.js Shading Language), a way to write shaders in pure JavaScript&#x2F;TypeScript that compiles to both GLSL and WGSL. I built this editor to provide a visual interface for the tsl ecosystem. It allows developers to prototype shaders for WebGPU&#x2F;WebGL and see the results in real-time. This is a beta release and I'm looking for feedback.

    Nexus.js - Fabric.js for 3D▲91

    I was looking for a tiny library to easily transform both 2D & 3D objects with simple mouse &#x2F; touch controls and a fixed camera, in the browser. Like a simple 3D editor but without requiring the user to be a Blender expert. Couldn't find anything lightweight, so I’m building one. Think Fabric.js but for 3D. Built entirely with Three.js &#x2F; R3F. Borrowed some inspiration from VR&#x2F;AR interaction systems for controls. Feel free to play with it and let me know what you think!
