Florian Nick · open-source developer

I build tools for
seeing difficult data.

Point clouds with millions of samples. Microscopy stacks. Floating-point images. Marketplace data that changes every day. My projects make technical data inspectable without turning it into a black box.

Selected work / 2026

Three projects,
one recurring idea.

Keep the interface clear. Keep the underlying data available.

VS Code extension + browser app

3D Point Cloud &
Mesh Visualizer

Inspect point clouds, meshes, Gaussian splats, depth images, and volumetric data in VS Code—or load a file directly in the browser. Demanding decoders and geometry kernels run in Rust and WebAssembly.

  • Data PLY, LAS/LAZ, E57, X3A/X3R, OBJ, STL, GLTF, NRRD & more
  • Workflows registration, measurements, camera projection, recoloring
  • Rendering large point clouds, surfaces, volumes, sorted splats

VS Code extension

Scientific Image
Visualizer

Native-speed inspection for high-bit-depth, floating-point, medical, microscopy, and layered image formats. It exposes exact values and provenance instead of flattening everything to an ordinary picture.

  • Formats TIFF/OME-TIFF, DICOM, CZI, ND2, LIF, FITS, EXR, NPY & more
  • Analysis pixel values, histograms, ROIs, thresholds, particle results
  • Viewing multidimensional datasets, channels, layers, image comparison

Extension
Downloads

A daily view of the open extension ecosystem. The tracker combines Open VSX and VS Code Marketplace counts into a searchable leaderboard, with 24-hour and seven-day movement plus a history page for every extension.

  • Scope public extension listings across both major registries
  • Signals downloads, rank changes, versions, tags, trend lines
  • Access open on the web, no account required

How I work

Fast where it matters.
Inspectable everywhere.

01 Rust and WebAssembly for work that should not block the interface.

02 Measurements, raw values, and failure states stay visible to the user.

03 Browser demos make the tools easy to try; extensions keep them close to the data.
