This is really cool! Sorry if this is kind of a dumb question but I know nothing about web development: can I use this without running node on the server? I'd like to use this for a WebGL distance field renderer I'm working on but host things on my Github page and thus can only do client side stuff. Getting a server is a possibility but for just one tiny project it doesn't seem worth it.

Yes, you can absolutely run React components without the use of a server. You can edit an html file locally and put a react component in there. That's usually the first thing most React tutorials have you do.

If you're using a backend server you're just rendering the react stuff to html and sending it to the client.

Great! I'll go check out some React tutorials.

I think you are searching for something like dat.GUI [1], most WebGL-demos are using it.

Yeah, you totally can! It's all front-end with React and Webpack. You can use Webpack in development and just have it build the static html and js files for gh-pages. Thats how the documentation site is built :)
