Build fancy landing pages with React(-three-fiber) and Threejs

This course teaches you how to add stunning flourishes to your sites with little code and complexity.

You would think that some of the extraordinary websites on awwwards, fwa or godly are out of reach for you, as a front-end dev that knows Javascript, Html and Css. Graphics on the web have always been deeply complex, reserved for a small community of experts. But with poimandres tooling that has changed, because it allows developers to abstract complex behaviour and then share! Now you can compose experiences like that with React building blocks, similar to how you build anything else on web.

Beginners and intermediates may enjoy it the most. You need to have a basic grasp of React, and perhaps already Threejs, though that can come later.
