Nexus.js - Fabric.js for 3D

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!

In plain words

Nexus.js is a lightweight browser library for transforming 2D and 3D objects using simple mouse and touch controls with a fixed camera. Built with Three.js and React Three Fiber, it provides an intuitive 3D editor experience without requiring advanced 3D software expertise. The library draws interaction patterns from VR and AR systems, making it accessible for developers who want to add interactive 3D manipulation to web applications.

    I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights▲1,539

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jameshard.ing&#x2F;pilot&#x2F;globes&#x2F;all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

  • Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform▲827

    I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits&#x2F;month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
