ThreeUI gives you interactive 3D React components for free

You can now drop interactive 3D elements into your React app without writing complex canvas code.

Creator MengTo released ThreeUI Community, an open-source catalog of 3D web UI components that pulled in nearly 3,900 GitHub stars in its first week. The project includes 50 free parent components with live interactive previews, controls, and full source code—no account required.

Why it matters: Building 3D web visuals usually means wrestling with scene setups and shader code. ThreeUI packages those renders into standard React components, making high-end visual effects as easy to add as a plain button.

To try it, run npm install @designcodeio/threeui, import the shared CSS file, and drop in a component like <AtTheHorizon />. The component code and assets are MIT licensed.

Your hero section officially has no excuse for looking boring.
