What's a good way to get started developing similar apps? Do you recommend coding from scratch right in WebGL, or do you recommend starting with some framework or another? Do you have any thoughts on using Unity or Unreal Engine for WebGL deployments?

You might want to take a look at playcanvas [https://playcanvas.com] if you are looking for something a little more game specific than threejs. We've designed it specifically for WebGL and hence it works a lot better than Unity or Unreal.

I recommend using Three.js which is the library that our game is using. Starting with WebGL from scratch might be too difficult if you have no experience.

Unity is not quite ready for the web yet, they have a WebGL exporter but it doesn't support mobile.
