In plain words

Unreal Engine 5 in WebGPU enables developers to run the Unreal Engine 5 graphics and game development framework directly in web browsers using the WebGPU graphics standard. It is designed for game developers, interactive content creators, and studios wanting to deploy 3D experiences without requiring software installation. The key advantage is bringing full Unreal Engine capabilities to the web, eliminating platform-specific distribution barriers and expanding accessibility for end users.

  • ChartGPU – WebGPU-powered charting library (1M points at 60fps)Jan 2026 · github.com · ▲670

    Creator here. I built ChartGPU because I kept hitting the same wall: charting libraries that claim to be "fast" but choke past 100K data points. The core insight: Canvas2D is fundamentally CPU-bound. Even WebGL chart libraries still do most computation on the CPU. So I moved everything to the GPU via WebGPU: - LTTB downsampling runs as a compute shader - Hit-testing for tooltips/hover is GPU-accelerated - Rendering uses instanced draws (one draw call per series) The result: 1M points at 60fps with smooth zoom/pan. Live demo:…

  • 2D Game engine and editor for Windows and Linux2022 · github.com · ▲121

    Hello HN, Just wanted to show this little 2D game engine that I've been working on for some time (around 2 years on the editor part, longer on some of the components). It's quite full featured but obviously this a project of such magnitude already that the work never really ends. That being said it's definitely already at a point where games can made and published. The editor runs natively on Windows and Linux using Qt5. The games can run on both Win and Linux as well as on WASM with WebGL. Feature wise there's a bunch of the stuff you'd expect. Audio, graphics, scripting,…

  • I created an After Effects alternative▲1,150

    Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
