Curious if this is using WebGPU
It’s WebGL, not WebGPU

Re: Desmos 3D graphing calculator
#12Desmos is the best, free (as in cost) and easily accessible graphing calculator out there. I wish it was opensource though. I've even tried to make an alternative and it's really hard to match their functionality (or I'm just inexperienced). I hope an opensource alternative crops up. Edit: Seems there has https://www.geogebra.org/
I've been using GeoGebra for years. I have tried Desmos twice but couldn't immediately spot the differences. What are the benefits of Desmos over GeoGebra?
Desmos has a far smoother UI. Geogebra will often convert equations into its own format after clicking away from the equation editor, and if you mistyped or want to change the structure you must erase and re-type the whole thing—for example, typing f(x) will convert the equation into its own format where you can't edit parameters or the function name. Desmos leaves your input as text, allowing you to change input at the character level. From my high school experience where both were used frequently, a lot of frustration was expressed with Geogebra where missing a parenthesis forced you to re-type the entire equation since it often assumed the bulk of your equation was a parameter, and there was no way to correct it.

#13what's the relationship between desmos and geogebra? is one a fork of the other one?
There is none, just competing products.

#14Wow this is painfully slow, the CPU usage for rotating the scene is insane, I can't look at the code right now but wow.. I expect better from them EDIT: If you are using Chrome, make sure you are on the latest version, the latest v118 fixed it for me
Curious - do you have hardware acceleration disabled? Rotating the scene shouldn't be hammering the CPU if hardware acceleration is enabled. [disclaimer: I work at Desmos]

#15Well it passes the sin(x)sin(y)sin(z)>0.1 test
Edit: also sin(x)sin(y)sin(z)+0.1sin(10x)sin(10y)sin(10z)>0.1

#16The equation editor is so intuitive. Here's something I got from just typing in stuff and tweaking it: https://www.desmos.com/3d/6f4cd9930d

I don't think their codebases are particularly connected: AFAIK Desmos is a client-side browser app, so the software is distributed to the user for using in that way, which seems incompatible with the GPL3+ licensing of the GeoGebra codebase.

#19didn't realise desmos had a desktop client, but i've been a happy user of their android app for years. best calculator on android by far.

#20Desmos has had a place in my bookmark bar for years now this is a very cool addition.
