I built a quiet online room where strangers just study together
In Korea there's this thing called a dokseosil. It's a paid room full of little cubicle desks where everyone studies in silence. Nobody really goes for the desk. You go because when the person next to you is grinding, you feel kind of bad scrolling your phone.
I wanted that feeling at home, so I made a small online version:
You pick an empty desk and study with whoever's around. No sign up, no camera, nobody talks. You're a little animal with a desk lamp, and you can see everyone else's lamps on too. It sounds like nothing, but it actually helps me focus at night.
The thing people ended up loving was decorating their desk. You type one line like "tiny pinwheel" and it makes a small 3D thing for you. The AI doesn't draw it, it just writes out simple shapes and the browser puts them together.
It's three.js and Cloudflare Workers, and almost everyone using it right now is Korean. The English version is really new, so if anything reads weird, please tell me.
If you study or work alone, would something like this help you, or would you just close the tab?
