The glvisualize.com web site is gone (domain expired)

Is the content hosted somewhere else? https://github.com/SimonDanisch/GLVisualizeDocs does not seem up-to-date.

If not could it be included in this repository? Even if outdated it would still be useful.

Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't realize that the domain already went offline... I updated the link to the plain github.io url: http://simondanisch.github.io/ I never wrote a full documetation for glvisualize, since I'm not particularly happy with the API. I hope to have come up with better and more consistent API with Makie - GLVisualize is right now pretty much in a feature freeze and I hope to just have Makie completely replace GLVisualize at some point. If you let me know what you're trying to do with GLVisualize, I will help you figure out how to proceed best ;)

OK, thanks! I figured things were in flux, but I thought GLVisualize was staying as a backend for Makie, not that Makie was to replace both Plots and GLVisualize.

Thank you for your help! I am trying to build an interactive 3D visualization of very large graphs, but I'll check Makie first, since that's the preferred API.

[SimonDanisch]

Well, Makie uses GLVisualize as a primary backend! But, I'm writing the Makie OpenGL backend already in a way, so that I can simply switch out GLVisualize. I will reuse a lot of elements from GLVisualize but I plan to use the chance with Makie, to get rid of some technical debt. So basically GLVisualize will stay in a way, but I'll transform it a bit ;)

@SimonDanisch I was considering using GLVisualize and I'm really glad that you mentioned here that Makie is the replacement/successor project for the same use case. Would you be interested in adding something brief about that in the README? I didn't see it when I went back to search for it. 😭

I'm really excited to use Makie btw. 😻
