What is Plart?

Plart is a platform for creating generative art and data visualizations through community-built studios.

What is a studio?

A studio is a creative tool that takes input data (text, numbers, colors, etc.) and transforms it into visual artwork using p5.js or d3.js.

What is a plartfolio?

Your plartfolio is your personal collection of saved artwork. Think of it as a portfolio of your Plart creations.

How do I create artwork?

Visit a studio from the home page, fill in the inputs, and click Create. Your artwork will be generated in real-time. You can then save it to your plartfolio.

Can I share my artwork?

Yes! From your plartfolio, you can post artwork to the public gallery for everyone to see. You can also download it as a PNG.

How do I build a studio?

Clone the Plart Studio SDK repo from GitHub, write your p5.js or d3.js sketch, define your inputs in manifest.json, and submit it through the Submit Studio page. An admin will review and approve it.

What renderers are supported?

Studios can use p5.js (for generative art, creative coding, pixel manipulation) or d3.js (for data visualizations, charts, maps).

Is my artwork stored?

Yes, saved artwork is stored securely using Vercel Blob Storage. You can download it anytime from your plartfolio.
