Who's Hiring Thread Inspires SlingM.com: View/Share 3D Model in Browser

Hacker News

In March of this year, my comment on the Who's Hiring thread (news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3652857) connected me to two awesome developers in my area. After a round of meet ups and some collaboration on small projects, we started discussing a bigger idea I had in the works. Out of those conversations came an idea for a side project I'd like to share with HN today: SlingM. slingm.com provides an easy way to view and share 3d models in your browser. It's built with three.js and some of the latest HTML5 technology, including canvas and webgl rendering, file api, local storage, and more. I just wanted to say thank you to HN for inspiring me to create my own project and to gatlin and tron1point0 for their help and guidance. For the project home page, please see slingm.com/home/ For a sample model in action, check out slingm.com/v/ZV2E00001j41QR7bD
