    Hey HN, I'm Vincent. I built floors.js to bring back social interactions on the web. You paste one script tag. Your pages become isometric 3D rooms. Visitors show up as avatars, see each other, and chat in real-time. Three.js handles the isometric rendering, and a Bun WebSocket server manages presence, rooms and chat. The whole thing runs without touching the host site's DOM or styles beyond its own container. It works on any static site and is also optimised for SPA navigation (clicking on a door lets you navigate to another page). The landing page itself is the live demo, and I'm in the…

    Hi HN! I've built a web that takes your Steam game library and generates a 3D city from it. Games become buildings, playtime determines height. So your most-played game is a massive tower and that game you impulse-bought during a sale and never touched is basically a parking garage. There's also a world view where every player's library is a building on a shared map. About 7k people on it right now, you can fly around the whole thing. You can try this on https://thesteamcity.com Built with Next.js, React Three Fiber, and Supabase. Works on mobile too. Hope you like it!

    Commented on yesterday's Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026), thought I might as well submit a Show HN. If you see climbing world cup/championship, there is this 3D modelling thing [1]. I want that for my weekly bouldering. I scanned my local climbing gym into 3D mesh using iphone. Built a simple editor to trim, merge, move/rotate meshes. You can interact with the mesh, view routes, view climb, etc. So this is unlike many gaussian splatting projects where the main use is for viewing. I built a pipeline in updating climbing walls. Climbing routes are manually annotated.…
