Librum VS Skia

>Why should they have to justify providing free software?

They don't, but they have to be honest about what they're presenting. There's this shitty motte-and-bailey situation in open source where their website ( https://librumreader.com/ ) looks like marketing for a serious application - but the moment you treat it like a serious application, people are like "it's free, why are you treating it like a serious application?".

Look:

>Simplicity

>Focus on what actually matters, using a simple and straight forward interface.

>Your time is too valuable to be wasted on complex applications.

What does the tone here convey? Is it "this is just a cool project I wrote"?

Hey, I want to add CI to a project that depends on a big framework and some smaller linux libraries (https://github.com/Librum-Reader/Librum). I have a command that installs all dependencies on ubuntu, but it takes some minutes to install all of these libraries.

Thank you in advance for any advice on this topic (For some context, here is my project's github repository: (https://github.com/Librum-Reader/Librum)

Actually, that's not entirely accurate. The lottie-web library itself doesn't support rendering to WebGL. However, there is a package called canvaskit-wasm that wraps Skia (a graphics engine) with WebAssembly (wasm). This package includes a module called skottie which supports rendering animations into a WebGL surface. However, there is a drawback with this approach: using wasm requires loading a relatively large package, and it's uncertain whether all features are supported correctly, as the official compatibility table that tracks lottie support on different platforms does not include skottie.

Skia is pretty great if you can get it running.

The imgs are mainly used by Tencent QQ and Baidu Tieba users. QQ and Tieba compress imgs by default, so the popular imgs (in China we call them "屌图" or "表情包") would be compressed million of times during the spreading, causing the super low quality. These APPs on Android are using Skia for image processing, which suffering from a legendary bug: result would be more green. The bug was fixed in 2016: https://github.com/google/skia/commit/c7d01d3e1d3621907c27b283fb7f8b6e177c629d

There’s also Skia by Google. Used by Android and Google Chrome.
