Hand-picked WebGL gallery, but curated directories don't solve real problems.
Strengths

- •Clean dark UI with maker attribution and entry counts per studio.
- •Newsletter and submission pipeline built for ongoing curation.
Weaknesses
- •Directories are reference content, not tools with technical depth.
- •Awwwards and The FWA already cover 3D web extensively.

Post Description
My friend (designer) and I (programmer/3D enthusiast) built this as a side project after getting frustrated with existing galleries that label anything "3D" - including pre-rendered videos and static images - making it hard to find what's actually possible in the browser right now.
mesh3d.gallery only lists websites doing real-time 3D with WebGL, Three.js, or similar. We hand-picked the first ~150 ourselves, and since opening submissions, users have added more, though everything still goes through us before it goes live.
Tech stack used: - Next.js (I regret this decision deeply) - Supabase (DB, Auth) - Cloudflare (R2, cache, captcha etc.) - Hosted on Hetzner VPS with Coolify
Happy to hear feedback, especially from anyone who's built something worth listing or has thoughts on what we're missing. Thanks!

Nice little UX choices here: you can import/export OPML, generate editable links without creating an account, and turn readonly copies into editable forks. The automatic feed-finding and lightweight metadata (frequency, last post, language) are the kind of practical niceties that make curating a list less tedious. It isn’t reinventing RSS, but it packages useful ops for a small but real audience.
