Over December I’ll be posting 100 fun insights in this thread from working on @triplex.dev in my free time for two (!) years.

It’s the longest and largest side project I’ve worked on.

Keep an eye out, will be a fun one!

Triplex just became best friends with the Decal component. Effortlessly position it on your mesh — then save back to code.

Imagine doing this manually in code! 😱

First external contribution to the @triplex.dev renderer has been merged!

It gets userland postprocessing working in the editor. Thanks @hotbloodedheroine.petplay.fi!

After 1 year in the works, I will now start posting progress updates about my upcoming 3D multiplayer browser game, Mana Blade. Built with @threejs.org, @react.dev, React Three Fiber, and @bun.sh, it runs on WebGPU with WebGL fallback and works on mobile. Follow for updates! Try it on manablade.com

This powers the core of Triplex. Every piece of data is typed and can be subscribed to, with new data pushed whenever it's needed (you write the code for this!).

1. Create the server
2. Create the client
3. There is no step 3

Go to the repo, star it, and comment with your thoughts down below! 😁

With Triplex for VS Code launching soon we're also going to open source some amazing things.

Here's the first: Websocks, an end-to-end typed websocket API router for Node.js with clients for React and events.

Follow this account and @triplex.dev to be notified when Triplex for VS Code launches.
