Oh yeah, WebGL is a rabbit hole!
It depends on how deep you want to go - and the beauty of the ecosystem in 2017 is that there are plenty of tools that let you have fun with the fluffiest abstractions, all the way down to the rawest hardcore low-level - in the same framework.
I actually wrote an intro to WebVR (and, implicitly, WebGL) a little while back that covers that exact gamut which might be a good starting point to get the lay of the land:

In terms of personal stuff, it's been a while since I undertook any major projects (again, day job, etc.), but I like to doodle semi-frequently and post stuff on my website. Here's something I just made yesterday - a 3D variation to Dan Shiffman's excellent 10print video:

Have fun with WebGL! It's quite addictive!
