The interesting part
is what you make.
Write an article. Drop in a dataset. Let a reader turn a model over. Alkemist brings the useful pieces together, so your subject can take the lead.
Synthetic dataset · line
A signal finding its quiet
A synthetic damped oscillator. Explore the data at any scale.
Data table
The table loads alongside the chart.

3D model · glTF 2.0
A knot, from every angle
An Alkemist-generated specimen. Uncompressed GLB / glTF 2.0.

/>The model is included with this demo. This viewer supports uncompressed GLB and glTF; NeRF and splat viewers are planned.
Mathematical writing
An equation you can explore.
AlkMath renders the equation; this small site widget draws the signal.

Start using Alkemist
Choose your hosting provider, then copy the setup instructions.
Connect your Git repository. Main publishes your site; other branches get previews.
Use GitLab CI for Pages. The starter deploys main and checks other branches; parallel previews need a paid GitLab tier.
Build ordinary static files. Keep your provider’s deployment command, domain, and preview setup in your own repository.
Use Node 24.20.0. Choose an empty destination for your new site.
git clone https://github.com/alkemdev/alkemist.git alkemist-source

npm run create:site -- ../my-lab --provider cloudflare

Which opening feels right?
The same type, inks, and practical content sit beneath each take. Choose the first impression, then tune the details.
My starting point: A, Sculpture. It invites interaction and feels connected to what you can publish. C is the quieter, more tactile alternative.
