Constructive Solid Geometry in JS
Does a few things to flat surfaces that could use some cleanup (over-eager tesselation) but it's lovely to see things like this cropping up in Javascript these days. Live examples too, an unexpected bonus.

"Currently there are no open source line simplification implementations that prevent the creation of gaps between adjacent polygons." - is that really true? Surely we can fix that?

crompton tessellations / grotesque geometry
"In the Grotesque we see symmetry, movement, and purpose, signs of life where there ought not to be any." Lots of really interesting examples.
