tf2 on the web!

reaching out, we have thought about this. Would love your insight

that would actually be crazy! We have a long ways to go with this build, but you can consider this website as an early prototype of what a news/blog site could look like: https://violetsummerzine.com/

thanks for the flag! we'll look into this

target demographic are independent music artist - specifically music producers!

If you do try it out, please keep me updated on the results. Very curious what your stats are. Happy to compare more analytics over email.

- To be honest, not sure. I am not an SEO expert.

- Most of the end visitors, those that visit our creators websites, are actually mobile users and they have an average session duration of 50+ seconds and so far we have very high retention with our creators so I think there hasn't been to big of an issue with accessibility. I tested our website on a iPhone SE and it ran great on good wifi. All modern browsers support WebGL. Our fallback would probably be around bad wifi.

- We only use 3D web sites to run our funnels. I always tell people content is king at the end of the day so I guess you will have to just try it out and see how it goes. Right now, it is hard for us to share with you robust analytics via conversion rates and CTAs so I recommend using a service like BITLY and attaching bitly to the buttons so you can track clicks. Here is one of our funnels: https://www.muse.place/pandassaurus The funnel was built completely with builder tools, so you have the same tools I do. So at the very least I can tell you that our growth/marketing strategy at Muse is 100% reliant on our own product if that helps.

any chance you can email us a screenshot? info@muse.place, if not thanks for flagging this. We did a merge a pr recently for AZERTY keyboards: https://github.com/spacesvr/spacesvr/pull/51

Our goal is to get there though. Thats the biggest tech problem we face, accessibility and usability and everyday that is what our team RNDs

interesting, we'll take a closer look into this

Thank you!

agree, i have taken a shot and built a landing page here: https://muse.place/muse

what browser were you on? Your mouse pointer should be replaced by our cursor if there were no bugs.

I'd check out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/musehq/

I am working on building a company website right now with bg info which should come out later this week. Being built using builder tools!!!

would love to get more info on this, were tryna optimize for speed, if you could email info@muse.place with your device that will be very helpful for us

thanks for shouting that out - will fix that and got your notes on our pause menu!

My Calendly subscription ran out :) Here is our updated link: https://calendly.com/ben-792/userinterview

Gotta be honest here, we only really build for Chrome right now on the laptop/desktop. Safari is pretty buggy on desktop but what's pretty funny is that we optimized for Safari for mobile devices.

Thanks for the tip, we know we need to optimize for accessibility first. We have spent a lot of time optimizing our renderer for speed. To be honest, this is the first I am hearing about this bug so I would like to be able to learn more about your set up offline perhaps in an email. If you could email info@muse.place with your computer and browser setup that would be very helpful.

Also, one of our favorite websites have been https://nurtu.re/

It is built by Active Theory for Porter Robinson. I believe this could be the future. I guess they get away with it because they are in third person.

Because most of the site are not built with html, it is difficult for Google and search engines to crawl. That would affect search rankings the most. An idea to fix this is to automatically auto generate tags created by html that describe the 3D models and decorations/components added to the room.

Hi HN, we’re Ben and Alex, founders of Muse HQ (https://muse.place/). We help anyone build immersive 3D websites.

Alex and I started building 3D websites because we were bored of building the same old static websites that we have been contracted to do for the past 6 years since high school. Building websites sucked and was boring. Fortunately, Alex discovered the power of three.js. Between us, Alex was the first one to start building websites in 3D and frankly, I was jealous because I saw that the code for 3D websites was far too complicated for me to grasp quickly and I felt left behind. This is why Alex and I started Muse, to make the 3D internet accessible to everyone and easy to use so we don't have to keep building static websites.

The way we solved this problem was by first building an open-source framework called SpacesVR that made it very easy for React developers to start building 3D websites. Several months later, we built a no-code editor that works similar to Squarespace and Wix built around this framework. Using our framework, our team has built over 200 3D websites by hand. Since launching our no-code editor, we have seen over 40 websites published. Also, a crazy thing happened the other day when Alex was scrolling through Twitter. He stumbled upon a 3D website that used very similar control mechanisms to our websites. With a little bit of investigating, we found out that a virtual gallery project, 3XR, started using our framework to build virtual NFT galleries for all Mintbase stores!

It has been exciting to see our no-code editor and open-source framework grow. I encourage everyone here to build a 3D website, try it out, you may enjoy it! You can check out our open-source framework at https://www.npmjs.com/package/spacesvr or go to https://muse.place/to build a 3D website with no code. Have fun building!

Thank you. What do you think of adding a feature like a virtual moving pathway, kind of like a moving mat they have in airports, museums, and aquariums to keep lines moving.

Use google chrome. Safari is pretty buggy still.

I built a 3D virtual art gallery. This is the first launch. Excited to get some feedback!
