A small browser app for geodesics on curved surfaces

via Dev.to JavaScriptPranjal Sailwal3h ago

Lightweight Spectro-Geodesic Explorer is my browser-based project for exploring geodesic flow on curved surfaces with wavelength-aware sampling. It computes paths on parametric surfaces, uses adaptive RK4 stepping, and keeps the geometry interactive through Web Workers, so the math stays visible instead of buried behind layers of abstraction. The project currently includes a set of parametric surfaces, curvature calculations, and spectral sampling across the visible range. What I liked most while building it was the connection between differential geometry and rendering: curvature changes the path, wavelength changes the sampling, and the result is something you can inspect directly in the browser. It is still a research-oriented implementation, but it already shows how geometric computation and spectral ideas can work together in a lightweight interface.
