Shaders

Shaders is an open-source WebGPU shader platform and design editor for Vue, React, Svelte, Solid, and JS.

Shaders is an open-source platform providing WebGPU shader components and a free design editor for frontend developers and design engineers. Users can mix and match over 200 base components, import images, videos, and SVG assets, and apply advanced materials, filters, and 3D effects. The platform enables interactive effects driven by mouse movement, automatic animations, or reactive state from code. It supports integration with Vue, React, Svelte, Solid, and JS, with code export available. The free tier includes open-source components, the design editor, and code export, while the Pro plan offers access to the complete preset and section library through the CLI and MCP.
