This site personal site is in stark contrast to my previous personal site which now lives at https://3d.dement.dev I plan to update the 3D site and provide a choice to users whether they would prefer a simple 2D site or the 3D experience.

The soundbite was great lol!

Nice Work!

I've been working on this component library for a little over a week now, my aim with it is for people to be able to easily add touches of 3D into their React apps.

Nice work on your racing game! I haven’t experienced the low frame rate you’re mentioning on my site across any of my devices (maybe low frame rate on load a few times)

That’s actually sounds like such a fun feature to build.

Nice find I’ll test this out! Did you make this?

Thanks so much! Going to play with adding in some constrained orbital controls, and add some other visual indicators to let visitors know how to interact with the site better.

Interesting! Likely because the 3D model for the photo on the 2D site is a larger model than any of the models in the 3D scene.

But what’s extra interesting about that is the 3D page is a vanilla React project while the 2D site is built with Astro SSG, and has all 90+ lighthouse scores.

That’s a nice spin on using react three fiber!

Thanks! Going to work on some features to help with this soon! Something like a scroll indicator, pointer is also a great idea for clickable item! The arrow indicator idea I also like!

Thanks for the feedback! Planning on adding an indication to scroll, and some sort of effect for clickable items. Also planning to remove the boat/cage taking you to other page, it made sense in a previous version of the site.

Not Adobe shockwave, right?

Haha, so true

I don't think I "need to stand out", but I do think standing out is a good thing.

I’m glad you like it!

I built the initial version in about a week.

If you’re comfortable with react already you can use React Three Fiber, and a few libraries associated with it like drei. This can also be done with vanilla three.js.

I would say look for some 3D models you like on a site like sketchfab, and think of what you could build related to the 3D object. Even better, if you have some 3D modeling experience, create a model yourself and maybe a fun little website with it!

Also check out the projects/about page by clicking on the old mac!

This has been a work and progress for a while now. A few months back the site used orbital controls, but I realized the UI/UX (Especially for non tech savy users) was unintuitive. Working to settle on a middle ground.

I don't think that prompt alone would send your form data to your email. We're using Nodemailer under the hood, while you could "prompt engineer" your way to having functional forms, configuring things like custom SMTP would take more than just that prompt. The idea with Formbee is to have a fairly low friction way to send form data to email, or webhooks. With the hosted option its as simple as sending a post request, self hosting can be as easy as spinning up a docker image, and configuring a few env vars.

Lambda is great though! We should add some Lambda boilerplate to our docs to make it easy to self host form submission with Lambda.

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words about Formbee! I also think Formspark is great! I've been thinking about making the pricing options for Formbee more similar to how Formspark does their pricing.

Did statickit function as more than just a form backend? I do feel like a form backend alone is hard to run as a viable business, but I find it to be an interesting enough problem to maintain an open source solution for.

very cool setup, I would be interested to read more into it if you do get around to writing it down!

interesting, I hadn't heard of StaticKit, looks like they were acquired by FormSpree in 2020, as I write this I realize that's now 5 Calendar years ago... Time is flying lol

Nice! I've used Nocodb quite a bit myself, a big fan of it, especially as a free self hostable alternative to Airtables (which is way overpriced imo).

You have the form data being placed into a table, or being sent somewhere external?
