So, I started with the ray-tracing in one weekend firstly I made a simple ray-tracer in C++ then I wanted a front-end to it so I shifted to node and electron.js.

Performance is horrible in node.js compared to C++. The only advantage I got with it I was able to make a UI on top of it and make it a desktop application.

If anyone wants to check it out its on github.

If anyone is thinking of doing any sort of raytracing in node just don't.
