Hey HN!

When I saw that The Louvre released their collections online (https://collections.louvre.fr/en/), I thought it would be cool to make a 3D experience where you can view their paintings with other people. DJ3D is a previous side project of mine for people to watch YouTube videos together, but I adapted it to load paintings from The Louvre collection instead.

The gallery will randomly pull paintings from the entire collection. If the servers find other people online at the same time, it will match you with them. You might notice the paintings changing - this is so you see the same paintings as other people in your server.

Tech stack: three.js, React, Agones + Node, Firebase My other projects: https://neelmango.com/

Hope you enjoy it and let me know if you have any questions. Also, sorry if the servers crash :D
