Im tired of infinite canvas startups. Im tired of generative video snake oil providers. Im tired of hype for hyperframes, as html and playwright is a dumb long term solution for video rendering. So I decided to build Raea. Open source. Free for everyone. Faster and more capable than hyperframes or remotion. (10-20x faster with real footage and complex scenes). And it renders without a browser…. Capable of more than just video. It’s built on @BevyEngine so it’s highly capable at producing 3D art, shaders and games. It’s also built on Blitz Dom @dioxuslabs , and a bridge between the page and the 3d world behind it allows you and your agent to write everything in typescript and react… without a browser. This video below was made entirely with Claude, Raea, and a weekend. I never had more fun playing and toying with creative work than I did making this. But to be honest, that’s not where I’m stopping. I want Raea to be an engine that correctly empowers creatives and agents, while not cognitively offloading the parts that make your work unique. I’m excited to continue working on this project as long as I can, and always open to feedback!

I need people to understand how insane this is. We’re talking about technology competing with tools backed by companies with access to substantial capital, engineering teams, and resources. Meanwhile, my fiancĆ© @shinyobjectz_ built Raea, an open-source rendering engine, with ZERO funding, ZERO employees, and a team of ONE. 3.4 seconds vs. 23.3 seconds. Same prompt. Same export conditions. And the only ā€œinvestorā€ behind him this past year? Me. 🄹 I became our sole income provider so he could go all in on AI engineering, data science, and building something he believed should exist. No VC funding. No multimillion-dollar budget. Just an absurdly talented engineer with the freedom to build. When I say he’s my greatest investment, I mean it. šŸ˜¤ā¤ļø

Same prompt for both. ā€œCreate a 10-second animated short called Moon-O-Matic. A vending machine dispenses the moon. Come up with your own artwork, animation, and ending.ā€ Separate matched export on Windows took 3.4s in Raea and 23.3s in HyperFrames. Which cut would you keep?

every night i have a set of 6-10 fun explainers made using raea and ElevenLabs about current work and projects this one is about Rat King, my at proto based communication and coordination framework in my "definitely not a software factory" harness

Excited to launch the Raea community! Join us to share ya work, stay updated, and hang with myself and other AI creatives! Also make sure to follow the project on @render_anything 🐈 discord.gg/ZCfeKDPgXX šŸˆā€ā¬›

This is sick
We wanted fonts on the canvas to feel alive, not just sharp. So we built Lettra

My take: faster render times means more iterations and revisions. That time compounds quickly over the course of longer projects.

PM asked for a video of what we'd built so far. So I made a skill for it on top of raea: create-video-for It asks about sound and length, storyboards it, records the real app, cuts it in raea and checks every frame before you see it. It runs on all OS not just mac, link šŸ‘‡

If anyone is wondering where the raea cat came from… this is my cat Olive. He has zero PR’s. I guess now he has golden handcuffs.

Going to integrate this into raea! this looks epic
eh fuck it why bother explaining rune when you can just watch this look how crazy it is we're in the future what are you doing just set your ui on fire man across mac windows and linux

If somebody sends me another Claude artifact to explain a problem I’m going to lose my mind. It’s rude imho. If you need AI, that’s fine, but send a one-pager. Take some time to make it a presentable pdf. Don’t make me now ask my agent to read your agent’s work.

Blown away by the support today. Raea has been two years of prototyping and testing, experimenting with and learning about rendering pipelines, encoding, polygons and glyphs. I no longer feel grey and alone. I’m legit crying as I see people creating with Raea. Thank you!

Alright. Raea + Claude Opus 5.5 is pretty sweet ngl. This was like 30 mins of my time prompting/directing. Claude did all the rest with Midjourney/ImagineArt MCP + some gifs from the new GPT Image 2.6.

This is looking mad interesting. Will have to test again the incumbents

Every AI video tool right now: spin up Chrome, screenshot frames, pray. Raea doesn't. It's a game engine your agent drives with TypeScript and React, rendering straight on your own machine. Free, no account. The demo below was one weekend with Claude.
