renderlet

Overview

Renderlet is a framework designed to build interactive applications that run anywhere [1]. Founded in 2024, the company is based in New York City, NY, USA [2] and participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch [3]. The two-person team [4] developed renderlet to address challenges in building high-performance graphics applications by enabling developers to write high-level code for 2D and 3D graphics without relying on low-level, platform-specific APIs [5]. The framework automatically compiles graphics code to WebAssembly and embeds a portable rendering engine that allows graphics to render safely across any platform's GPU [5]. Renderlet's runtime is open-source [5].

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, enabling graphics to safely and automatically render on any platform’s GPU. Our runtime is open-source: https://github.com/renderlet/wander [5]
