about web-expl

web-expl visualizes the internet in a node-based system in 3-dimensional space.
The visualizer is based on WebGL using ThreeJS, including responsive canvas scaling to run as smoothly as possible across all devices.

Content is fetched using web-scraping. The host of this website is not responsible for the content of the scraped websites.

Planned and potential features include:

  • Loading indicator
  • Overview of all displayed nodes
  • Clickable nodes to preview websites


Developed with 💖 using NextJS, TailwindCSS and ThreeJS
