Triplex

Triplex is a visual development tool that lets you build interactive 2D and 3D web experiences directly within Visual Studio Code. It functions as an integrated editor where you can manipulate JSX elements and 3D objects with click-and-drag controls, bypassing the need to write every line of code by hand. You work on your actual project files, so any change you make visually is saved back to your source code, keeping everything ready for deployment.

What sets Triplex apart is its deep integration with popular web frameworks. It works with React for standard 2D interfaces and React Three Fiber for 3D scenes, allowing you to switch between dimensions in the same project. The tool automatically generates control panels based on the props defined in your components, so adjusting values is intuitive. You can also open any component—from a small button to an entire app section—and work on it in isolation, which is great for focused development and testing.

This tool is a solid fit for developers who want to speed up prototyping or learn by doing, especially in the 3D web space. It's useful for creating educational apps, interactive marketing sites, web-based games, or WebXR experiences for platforms like Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro. If you're tired of constantly switching between your code editor and browser to tweak values, Triplex brings that feedback loop directly into your development environment.
