Keep Three.js
Resources free
One developer runs this site between client projects. The directory, the guides, the free tools and the courses cost money to host and hours to keep honest. If it has saved you time, this is where you give some back.

Where it goes
What your support pays for
There is no paywall on this site and there will not be one. That decision has a cost, and it breaks down into four things.
Hosting and the tools
The GLB viewer, the SVG converter, the GLSL to TSL transpiler and the shader playgrounds all run on real servers with real bills. Support covers them before anything else.
Hours of curation
Every tool in the directory is installed and tried before it is listed, and revisited when the library moves on. That is slow work and nobody is paid to do it but you.
Guides that stay current
The WebGPU, WebXR and framework guides get rewritten when the API changes instead of rotting like the 2015 tutorials that made this site necessary.
Room to build the next thing
New free tools and courses come out of time that would otherwise go to client work. Support buys that time back.
Chip in
Pick an amount, once or monthly
Stripe handles the payment and the receipt. Reply to the receipt with your Creator Hub link and your badge goes on the same day. There is no tier and no minimum; five euros a month from a few hundred readers covers everything on the list above.

No money involved
Four ways to help that cost nothing
A site this size grows by word of mouth. If the budget is not there, these do as much as a donation, and some do more.
Send the site to one person
A link in a team chat or a reply on X does more for a small site than any ad. Most readers arrive because someone they trust sent them.
Share on X ↗Submit what you built
A tool, a site for the showcase, an article, a job. Every submission is reviewed by hand and the good ones make the site more useful for the next person.
Submit a resource →Buy something from a creator
Marketplace sales keep independent creators publishing, and a share of every sale funds the site. Same for the courses.
Browse the marketplace →Link to a guide
If a guide answered your question, link it from your README, your blog or your docs. Links are how the guides get found by the people who need them.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers on what supporting the site involves.
Giving
Amounts, badges and what you get.
Only if you want it to be. The Stripe page lets you pick a one-time amount or a monthly one, and you can stop a monthly contribution at any time from the receipt email.
Your name or logo on the supporters wall on this page, a Gold Supporter badge on your Creator Hub profile, and your profile pinned to the top of the hub. Mostly, you get the site staying online.
Create a Creator Hub profile if you do not have one, then reply to your Stripe receipt with the profile link. The badge is added by hand, usually the same day.
Everything else
Where it goes, companies, free help.
Servers for the free tools, the time spent reviewing and writing, and building new tools and courses. There is no team and no office. The costs are the ones listed on this page.
Probably not. Companies get logo placement, newsletter mentions and a sponsor slot on the hub pages, with an invoice. That lives on the sponsor page.
Yes. Sharing the site, submitting a tool or a showcase entry, and linking to a guide all count, and for a site this size they matter as much as the money.
Representing a company?
Sponsorship comes with logo placement, a slot on the hub pages, a newsletter mention and an invoice.
