EDIT: Sorry I'm having some issues with my servers now since lots of people are using it! Hoping to fix it soon!

Hey HN! I've been working on this project for a few months now and I thought this would be a good time to release a beta version. DJ3D will keep Youtube videos in sync with a group of up to 30 people, and each person gets a fun little avatar in a 3D world to mess around with. All you have to do is create a room and share the URL!

Tech stack:

- Agones + nengi for the multiplayer

- three.js for rendering

- Firestore for video syncing

Coming Soon:

- Usernames

- Chat

- Video queuing

- More expressive features (dances, emotes, etc.)

Sorry if you encounter any issues, it's still a work in progress. Feel free to report bugs or give feature suggestions at our Discord!

It bothers me that I can't sit down.

This is brilliant. Just tried with few friends. Few features request.

-Dark mode or minimal light

-fading control options if not using for long time

Could you have the room creator limit what features are available? I could see this being a valuable tool for education when the feature set is minimal but very fun for social situations when the feature set is fully activated.

Definitely. I already added the option for the room creator to limit who can change the video. Will keep the education use-case in mind for future things like this! Thanks for the feedback

About 10 years ago, Lorne Lanning made something like this, even tried to build a company around it. It did not succeed, but was a lot of fun. Happy to see the idea again.

This is incredible! Where did you come up with the idea for this?

With the way things have been going lately, I’d pay for this service.

Very slick, great job!
