Customizable Woodworking Plans with Three.js

This is the first time I manage to publish a side project in 12 years of web development (achievement unlocked!). I’ll be happy to read your thoughts about it. I’m interested in all types of feedback, and particularly I’d like to know if you’re aware of similar projects, as I haven’t found any. This is about helping makers build things, wooden things for now, when they don’t want to invest time to use or learn CAD softwares. I think the value will be tied to the size of the catalog, for now there is only two examples. Stack wise this is React, React-three-fiber and Nuxt.js. Three.js may not…

In plain words

Customizable Woodworking Plans with Three.js is a web application that lets makers design wooden projects without learning CAD software. Built with React, React-three-fiber, and Nuxt.js, it provides an interactive 3D interface for customizing woodworking plans. The platform currently features two example projects, with plans to expand the catalog over time to increase its value to users.

  • A gallery of graphs built with React and D3.js2023 · react-graph-gallery.com · ▲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!

    Nexus.js - Fabric.js for 3D2025 · punk.cam · ▲91

    I was looking for a tiny library to easily transform both 2D & 3D objects with simple mouse / 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 / R3F. Borrowed some inspiration from VR/AR interaction systems for controls. Feel free to play with it and let me know what you think!

    I made a puzzle game with Three.js2023 · thomasfriday.com · ▲82

    A while ago I discovered three.js, a JavaScript library to manipulate 3D objects. It looked really interesting, but I had no real need for it... To change that I recently challenged myself to make one 3D web game per month with three.js. And I just release game #2, a puzzle game called Cuboid, and you can try it here: https://www.thomasfriday.com/cuboid/ Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback. Thanks!

    Hey everyone, I'm the original co-creator of RedwoodJS. (The framework that myself and Tom Preston-Werner, Rob Cameron and David Price built during Covid.) I had tried to build a developer tool startup (Snaplet), and failed. I rejoined the efforts to add RSC to Redwood, but I realized that we needed a much simpler framework that was closely tied to a platform (We chose Cloudflare). We started building RedwoodSDK a year ago and this is the result. An insanely simple stack. I am incredibly proud of this work, please star our repo and let me know if there's anything that doesn't resonate with…
