Jamsocket

We are a platform for high-performance browser-based applications. We make it easier for developers to deploy apps that give every user a dedicated backend. This is a system design that apps like Figma and GitHub codespaces use, but it's currently difficult for others to replicate it. We make it as easy as deploying a traditional web server.

renderlet

match 69

renderlet is a framework that makes it easy to develop interactive applications. Building applications with high-performance graphics is very hard – existing tools are cumbersome and aren’t truly platform agnostic, leading to frequent rework. With renderlet, developers can write high-level code to describe 2D and 3D graphics without having to use low-level, platform-specific APIs. renderlet automatically compiles graphics code to WebAssembly and embeds a portable rendering engine inside any app,

Muddy

match 67

Muddy is a chat-like web browser (built on Chromium). Teams use Muddy to work with their teammates and software all in one window. Muddy consists of Spaces: project, event, or competency based feeds in which users can send updates that consist of basic multimedia messages, specific files from applications (Google Doc, Airtable Base, Figma File, +anything web based), and annotations on both. Recipients can then use those apps right in line of the messages to take the requested action or give the
