👽 WebGL: Another World to discover – Beautiful Code #7

Hey everyone! It’s Marc 👋

Welcome to my weekly newsletter.

Today, I'm bringing you a selection of awesome websites built with WebGL. For those who don't know, WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is an API that allows you to render 3D and 2D graphics within web browsers without the need for additional plugins. It uses JavaScript and is based on OpenGL ES (a version of OpenGL for mobile devices) to interact with the device’s GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and achieve high performance in graphics creation.

There are several libraries that simplify the use of WebGL for creating 3D and 2D graphics on the web, greatly easing direct work with the WebGL API, such as Three.js, Pixi.js or Babylon.js, among others.

In the tools section, I've put together a selection of product directories, alternatives to Product Hunt, where you can list and launch your digital products. I’ve used all three for the launch of Supasnap.

With that said, here’s today’s content!

🧰 Resources

1. Shadcn

Shadcn is a collection of open-source UI components that developers can copy, customize, and integrate directly into their applications.
