Hi! The (front end) developer of prouder here.
I was really glad that I found this toolkit just before we released our app. We were previously relying on Google's other 3D viewer (because of course they have two), model-viewer, embedded in a web view.
Thermion has solved a lot of the problems we had with the old web view solution, (performance issues, load times, transparency, etc.) so I'm happy to contribute back to the project in any way I can!

Curious how this relates to Flutter's own 3D support they showed off in Impeller. Does this use a web view at all or does it natively embed into Flutter? I saw there were ports of three.js to Dart but that's basically embedding everything in a web view.

spent some time with flutter/dart and boy oh boy was it tough
you have to spend a lot of time deciding which state management to use theres a lot of packages you have to choose from and it was exhausting
this looks like it could produce smooth 3d experience but i ended up using babylon.js with electron

I tried the playground it looked really slow/not performant. Is this only on my side?
