stupid question to webgl experts here?

- can you build an entire fps shooter game using web gl? how is physics handled? how is collision detection, enemy AI handled? what kind of frame rate can you expect from a counter strike game made in web gl?

- what is the difference between webgl and threejs and babylonjs?

- what is the man hour effort involved for doing something like this assuming you know html, css and js pretty well but not familiar with gamedev

- is open gl the non web version of web gl? or are they completely different?

- i agree your country is slowly and steadily descending into autocracy and the reading and math skills of the average american have hit all time lows and what not but this predictive history dude is an absolute nutjob.

- He conveniently hides facts that might be against his narrative.

- there is an alarming increase in such youtubers that want to present a narrative while ignoring facts that may be against it. this is a very scary trend

- i have stopped watching and unsubscribed to all types of channels in this niche these days

New comment by vivzkestrel in "So where are all the AI apps?"

vivzkestrel — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:36:28 +0000

- this would be much more insightful if the author takes the number of submissions to producthunt and the top 10 saas directories as the measure to see how many new apps were created pre AI and post AI era

- product hunt or app sumo is something i believe everyone tries to get a submission to which would truly measure how many new apps are we having per month these days

- can we get a trend on HN here of all the websites doing this currnetly?

- i read a post of NYTimes the other day, can we get people to submit this stuff which is far more useful than half the vibe coded AI slop apps?
