Zephyr3D – TypeScript WebGPU/WebGL 3D engine with an in‑browser editor

What it does

Zephyr3D is a modern WebGL/WebGPU rendering engine built with TypeScript, featuring backend switching, programmable shader generation, and an integrated editor ecosystem.

Built on TypeScript and a cross‑platform RHI abstraction, Zephyr3D provides a unified API over WebGL / WebGL2 / WebGPU. With a flexible shader generation system, a full‑featured scene graph, and a web‑based editor ecosystem, it delivers high‑performance solutions for visualization, games, and digital‑twin scenarios. Zephyr3D is a modern rendering engine built on TypeScript with clear modular boundaries and well‑designed abstractions. Through a flexible graphics backend layer and unified resource system, Zephyr3D lets developers focus on product and creativity rather than low‑level complexity. Core modules include Base / Device / Scene / Editor. They can be used independently or combined,…from zephyr3d.org

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
