AI Analysis

●MidEye CandyNiche Gem

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

Strengths

•Filters out pre-rendered videos to show only genuine real-time 3D.
•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!
