SynchronotronReal-time 3D, a 65,000-formula engine and a five-language platform

A WordPress site and a 56-sheet spreadsheet became one platform: interactive three.js scenes, a calculation engine verified to the last field, shop, memberships and a course school — in five languages.

The Challenge

The platform’s heart was an Excel workbook — 56 sheets, roughly 65,000 formulas — that only experts could operate, next to an ageing single-language WordPress site with a plugin shop. The knowledge was there; the experience was not.

The Approach

We rebuilt the platform from the ground up: the spreadsheet became a web engine proven field by field against the original, the abstract geometry became explorable 3D, and shop, memberships, courses and administration became one system on edge infrastructure.

“Real-time 3D, engineered to run on any device”

What Stands Out

The elements that make this system different

I

Real-time 3D with three.js

A 441-tile matrix as the homepage hero, a holographic 3D head and eight further interactive scenes, from circuits to a hypercube — drag, zoom, tap. Weak devices, data-saver and reduced-motion users get an elegant static fallback automatically; three.js only loads when it will run smoothly.

II

From spreadsheet to verified engine

A 56-sheet workbook ported to the browser, with a guided board in three levels and animated calculation paths — verified against more than 73,000 reference values before a single result went public.

III

Five languages, at full depth

Portuguese, English, German, Italian and Spanish — not only the interface: more than 1,600 migrated articles per language, a glossary and an archive, generated as some 9,700 static pages.

IV

Commerce built for its market

Shop, coupons and membership tiers with Mercado Pago (Pix, card, boleto, instalments) and PayPal, server-side pricing, and a clean import of the existing customer base.

V

A school and a back office

Course system with progress, quizzes and verifiable certificates; an administration in five languages with roles, audit log, scheduled publishing and accountant-ready exports.

VI

Quality you can measure

220 server tests and 347 database proofs, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility checks, performance budgets and an installable app that works offline.
