Rejecting bongo kittens, achieving 3D blooms, and other lessons learned
summary
An editor is built with React and react-three-fiber, wrapping three.js for 3D and using selective bloom post‑processing to reproduce lights and glow; files and songs remain local in IndexedDB while JSZip and FileSaver handle import/export; block models come from Blender; development takes months; the app survives a sudden influx after a rival editor is sabotaged with a rickroll, then settles to about 50–100 daily users and works.
