- Skr-canvas – No system dependencies, no postinstall scripts
- skr-canvas 0.1 released, drop in replacement for node-canvas. 0 system dependencies! 0 post install scripts! Support all active Node.js versions!
- skr-canvas now has out of box support for `node:lts-alpine` on both x64 and arm64! Just try it out by: `docker run --rm -it node:lts-alpine sh` and `yarn add @napi-rs/canvas`
- Just published @napi-rs/canvas v0.0.4. Support full featured PathKit functions, and text rendering/metrics will be released soon.
- Another skia binding just for building node-canvas alternative

Out of box canvas implementation by napi-rs and skia, zero system dependency, and no postinstall scripts. We are very close to complete its functionality, just try it with npm install @napi-rs/canvas
The goal of this project is to implement a superset of node-canvas with better performance in most scenarios. For now, Image decode/encode is partially supported, including png/jpeg/webp. Text rendering and text metrics is on the way, we have issue to track the progress https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/canvas/issues/156

What's the "modern" way of creating a native addon for Node.js?
Thanks! This seems pretty official. I do really like what I saw from https://napi.rs/ where you just throw a "#[napi]" macro on and it works. Do you know if there's a Node API equivalent C/C++ workflow or tool that does something similar? I think the https://github.com/nodejs/webidl-napi is kinda what I'm looking for but it's archived.

Equivalent to wasm-pack for nodejs C FFI?
Does it need to be Neon? From what I've read, there's something about its design that allows napi-rs to achieve better performance in some situations.

For example, they list PyO3 for Python (see also maturin for packaging), NAPI-RS for Node.js, and Rutie for Ruby.
