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! #threadapalooza #threadapalooza2024

Here some details on features that have shipped since launching Triplex for VS Code. #threejs #reactjs #r3f triplex.dev/blog/2025-ju...

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! 😱 #r3f #threejs #reactjs #webdev

played some dmc today but it just made me wanna do gamedev

Here's an example on how you can use React Router with Triplex #reactjs #webdev #reactrouter

Start building a 3D React component in 30 seconds

literally throwing up from how sick this is #threejs #webxr

keen for this one

First external contribution to the @triplex.dev renderer has been merged! It gets userland postprocessing working in the editor. Thanks @hotbloodedheroine.petplay.fi! github.com/trytriplex/t...

Build 2D and 3D web apps without coding. Triplex for VS Code — now in public beta.

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 is the ideal state. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. ... See the full video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkq-... @douges.dev talks about implementing the dynamic roots feature for Triplex and a gotcha with React Concurrent Features!

SydJS recording is up! youtu.be/nkq-gNMSDLs?... 😁 maybe you'll enjoy it @ricky.fm

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! 😁

What are you using to build your @reactjs components these days? Reloading your app in the browser? Storybook? Comment 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.

PLEASE LOOK AT THE CAMERA

If you've ever thought "man I'd love to contribute to Triplex" boy do I have something for you. Come join Discord and let's jam! discord.gg/nBzRBUEs4b

I love feature gates

Iterating the Triplex selection system to "harmonious" status — bridging two React reconcilers into a visual development environment.

The legend himself @douges.dev speaking at SydJS last night about the wizardry going into @triplex.dev 🧙‍♂️

@smashingmagazine.com picked up a blog I helped put together about Pragmatic drag and drop 💕 medium.com/designing-at...

prepare for 100 slides coming at ya tomorrow @ SydJS 🫡

Spent today walking through the baking process for all of my assets. Here are some screenshots of the demo level with sh lighting active on everything. Lots of tuning to be done, but promising :) #threejs #gamedev #creativecoding

Presenting at SydJS tomorrow! See you there.

I spy with my little eye

Coffee time.

@alexpage.bsky.social Oh! Here you are 👀 DM me!

cooking

you can just find things

Fun fact: Any time I need to round to a big number in Triplex, like timeouts, intrinsic sizes, anything, I round to the nearest THREE

Missing jsparty pod

Excited to present at SydJS this month, had to postpone last month. Working title: Dynamic Creatures & 
Concurrent Features.

Give me the strength to finish this landing page.

I've raised 1000 pull requests to @triplex.dev. Here's to 1000 more!

Anyone successfully debugging forked processes in VS Code extensions? Losing my mind over this.

In the next version of @triplex.dev the scene controls are contextually shown depending if there is a canvas component mounted.

Deprioritizing so much so I can get Triplex for VS Code released soon.
