Everyone's talking about AI-generated HTML.
But have you tried giving your sites a zero-config API for saving data, file storage, AI, websockets, etc?
We did this at Shopify. Runs on a single VM that costs $200/month, and it's changed the way we work.
We call it Quick 👇🧵

Thanks to Shopify for another opportunity to build something beautiful and unusual. Every Black Friday we try to ship something magical. This year we shipped a pinball machine that reacted to live data. A lot of details are lost from afar, so here's a close-up 🙂

Can you run WebGL shaders in realtime on Sphere?
Turns out you can.
@Shopify just did it for visualizing realtime sales in a whole new way.

The Shopify Live Globe is back this Black Friday!
And we built a pinball game out of it.
It runs at 120fps in a browser with a full 3d environment, physics engine, VR support and more. 👀

Shopify just launched a racing game built in threejs and React (R3F).
No physics libraries. No raycasts.
Not vibe coded. But all vibes. ✨

Every time a sale is made on @Shopify this Black Friday weekend, it shows up on this 3D globe.
It runs at 120fps in the web with a full 3D environment, physics engine, music synth, VR support, and more.
It’s hard to believe it's a React app 👀🧵

Here we go!
🌐 BFCM weekend has officially started in the first time zones, so let's go live.
This is the best Live Globe experience yet. Beautiful. And what's even better than a bfcm globe? One in a room full with toys and tools to make it your own. We may have gotten a little bit carried away there... 😇

Take a look at how we built the Black Friday globe with react-three-fiber, threejs, and a ton of custom shaders.
The secret to performance is instancing!
Can’t wait to show you what we’re cooking up this year.
