Websim is a cloud‑native platform that lets creators build, run, and publish interactive WebGL/Canvas simulations and generative‑AI demos directly in the browser. It provides a sandboxed, serverless runtime with one‑click publishing, version control, CDN‑accelerated URLs, and a community gallery for sharing, forking, and embedding projects.

Problem
Creators of interactive simulations and generative‑AI demos often need to install complex toolchains, manage separate hosting services, and handle versioning manually, which slows prototyping and limits public exposure. The lack of a unified, browser‑based environment makes it difficult to iterate quickly and share work with a broader community.
Solution
Websim offers a cloud‑native platform that lets users design, run, and publish interactive simulations and AI‑driven applications directly in the browser. The service provides a sandboxed runtime supporting WebGL, Canvas, and JavaScript/TypeScript, as well as built‑in connectors to popular generative‑AI APIs. Projects are hosted on a single URL with one‑click publishing, and the platform automatically handles scaling, security, and version control. A searchable community gallery lets creators showcase their work, receive feedback, and fork existing simulations for rapid iteration. Optional embed snippets enable seamless integration of published simulations into external sites or learning management systems.
Target Audience
The primary users are indie developers, educators, AI researchers, and hobbyist creators who need a low‑friction way to prototype and share interactive demos and generative‑AI experiments online.
Features
- Browser‑based editor with real‑time preview and support for WebGL, Canvas, and TypeScript
- Serverless execution layer for integrating external generative‑AI services (e.g., OpenAI, Stable Diffusion)
- One‑click publishing that generates a unique, shareable URL with built‑in CDN acceleration
- Sandbox security model that isolates each simulation to prevent cross‑project interference
- Community gallery with tagging, likes, comments, and forking to encourage collaborative development
- Versioning and fork history allowing creators to track changes and revert to prior states
- Embed code generator for inserting simulations into blogs, documentation, or LMS platforms
- Integrated asset library for reusable textures, models, and code snippets
