I'm working on this http://github.com/manugill/eye. Not anywhere near ready for testing yet though, I'm aiming for end of this year for v0.1.
Oh dude, thank you, I was aware of your project 6ish months ago (there's only like 3-4 canvas text editors so I try to follow them all, most are abandoned though) but what you're doing now fits perfectly with what I'm looking for. Thank you, I'll make sure to use it in v0.1. I couldn't get the webgl demo working though. https://github.com/capnmidnight/Primrose/blob/master/demo3d.... returns a 404.
But my long term goal is to actually 3d render the text completely using SDF or MSDF techniques.
You can see it running, sans webxr here: https://www.primrosevr.com/demo3d.html
SDF came up as an issue. It's not straight forward: https://github.com/capnmidnight/Primrose/issues/162
SDF would definitely be tricky, but like I want to ideally render text in 3d space without having a mesh in between. I do realise optimising an approach like that would be extremely hard but in terms of UX, it'd be better than anything possible with meshes and enable a few interesting possibilities.
Just going from your username, if you're actually available, I'd love to hire you for a bit of your help/expertise on my project. Like I'd like to render Primrose with a transparent/translucent background without the text being constrained inside a height limited viewport (render all lines at once) and implement scrolling on the mesh itself (also improve scrolling performance), and just support all keyboard + mouse shortcuts.
