Open Source & Third-Party Software
Roll20 couldn't exist without standing on the shoulders of giants. The following open-source and third-party projects have helped make it a reality.
- Firebase -- the service that helps us keep everyone in sync in real-time
- FabricJS -- a fantastic Canvas-based vector imaging library
- ThreeJS -- a Javascript/WebGL 3D Engine
- Physijs -- Javascript-based physics engine for ThreeJS
- jQuery -- needs no introduction, a seminal piece of Javascript
- BackboneJS -- keeps us organized when everything is flying around in a giant mess
- Padrino -- powers the administration section of the site
- NodeJS -- the amazing concurrent server that lets us keep the info flowing
- Twitter Bootstrap -- gives us the style we need to look somewhat legitimate
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, but we wanted to especially recognize these projects that make us tick. Open source powers the web, and we thank all of the programmers who take time out of their busy schedule to make the world a better place.
