LafHack Gives Processing Sketches a Browser and a Gallery

lafhack.com Observed source

Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based platform for uploading, publishing, browsing, and running Processing and Java sketches without local setup.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The platform is organized around a simple publishing path: a creator drops in a Processing project folder, LafHack says it compiles and normalizes the files, and the resulting sketch runs client-side through Processing.js. The stated viewer experience requires no install or plugin. A public gallery supports searching and filtering community sketches, while Source and ACM Discord links suggest an open technical and social perimeter around the project.
