    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/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/WebGL and see the results in real-time. This is a beta release and I'm looking for feedback.
