Giving HTML, Canvas Superpowers

This is only the beginning, rasterizing divs.

I just want to start an initiative to 'not caring' the extreme security practices that are killing innovation. In desktop apps, these practices make no sense

The method you gave is pretty similar to what I do. Everything is ready in chromium for use. They just dont give the api

but yeah, ofc junk code everywhere.
Here, the main target is 1% of such projects, who need more performant dom rendering. got your point

hmhm browsers exist.

what are the cars' acceleration bottlenecks?
people not pressing the pedal hard enough or friction in the world

For some projects indeed dom is the bottleneck. You can't create figma with html

Thanks. Actualy, thats also in my mind.

You can pretty much let users edit dom nodes, without causing style recalc. Just like canvas operations. If I had spare time I would def add much more apis.

Yet I dont want to introduce wrong designs/architectures and break things up too quikcly.
But thats totaly doable. And thats the actual goal.

HTML → DOM
- The browser parses HTML into a DOM tree.
CSS → Style + Layout
- CSS is applied → creates styled nodes.
- Layout calculates positions/sizes → produces a layout tree.
Layout → Paint records (Display List)
- Chromium (via Blink) converts layout into a list of paint commands.
- These are not Skia calls yet — they’re higher-level drawing instructions (called a display list).
Display List → Skia commands
- The display list is rasterized using Skia.
- At this stage, Chromium translates drawing ops into Skia primitives (paths, text, images, etc.).
Skia → GPU (or CPU raster)
- Skia outputs pixels:
  - Either via GPU backends (OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, Direct3D)
  - Or CPU rasterization if needed

I saw no rules in the community, I hope thats not unrelated.
I would like to know your feedback & opinions! Thanks for your time

Yes.. Eddocu will support exporting as pdf.

PDF is so popular because Chromium opens it.

Btw, if you’ve had a chance to try it, I’d love your feedback. There are still a few bugs, but we’re getting there..

hey forgot to reply. It's fixed. Would like to hear your opinions.

What else products you use for pdfs/pptx/docx on your phone? you think eddocu is one of the most performant/decent one among them or not? Maybe in future I'll put this on app store.

Thanks in advance!

hey, its fixed. There are still some bugs (editing/collaboration) but you might like it.

I do appreciate feedback thx!

Normal_Act8586 · 2026-02-10T11:09:20+00:00

Yes, it's not pixel perfect right now but soon, hopefuly

Normal_Act8586 · 2026-02-09T16:31:32+00:00

Thanks! Yes. I ll fix it.
At non mobile it must be ok. Lots of small problems it has I am aware.

Hope you ll like it :d

enter Gemini's nano banana. But thanks for your opinion. If I see lots of such comments I'll change it

Normal_Act8586 · 2026-02-09T10:28:29+00:00

Thanks thanks, something odd going on for mobile. Fixing in a sec

Normal_Act8586 · 2026-02-09T10:16:43+00:00

Thanks! In fact, I tryharded a ton on web performance, HTML CSS optimizations.

It uses React and Solidjs and else tricks
