react-native-skia VS perfect-freehand

It works wonderfully well for my react native app, see https://shopify.github.io/react-native-skia/ for details!

I stopped further tracking of the source code. As an end of this blog post, I would like to share my finding of the React Native Skia which brings the Skia Graphics Library to React Native. You can get more information from a Shopify Engineering blog Getting Started with React Native Skia. Hope it helps, see you next post.

This is the latest version of the issue (haven't had much luck getting support from the Skia team throughout this), I'm happy to get on a call to show you further if you have any experience with dealing with these monorepos or Skia for web. The moment we run a successful Next.js build I'll paypal you $250 on the spot.

The docs for react-native-skia docs seem spare and the only linked tutorials are in video form. Can anyone recommend any good written resources?

By using libraries like Reanimated, React Native MMKV, and React Native Skia, you leverage the native thread. However, I know there are developers building amazing things who think outside the box. I'm always thrilled when I read engineering blogs from companies like Netflix, Meta, and Shopify. They create solutions beyond the limits.

@wuba/react-native-echarts, An awesome charting library for React Native, built upon Apache ECharts and leveraging react-native-svg and react-native-skia. Offers significantly better performance compared to WebView-based solutions. If you want to learn more about the project's design principles, you can click here.

There's also React Native Skia.

yes this can be achieved using react-native-skia. Check it out link:https://shopify.github.io/react-native-skia/

The library Canva use for drawing lines may be of interest: https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand

Sorry to hijack this post, but I do habe a similar problem especially regarding the options for smoothing and streamline options. I think those features give me an annoying delay when drawing so I want to tweak them. If Im not mistaken excalidraw is based on perfect freehand and Changing those settings in their web app helps with input delay. Unfortunately these options are not documented in excalidraw (not even in those Videos) and i cant figure out what to change to affect these options. Any tips?

It's all in the title. I've been trying to find an answer for hours now. I want the program to be able to recognise the pressure applied and produce a stroke using that info, kinda like perfect freehand but with python. Can anyone help?

Hi everyone. This is a component for drawing perfect pressure-sensitive freehand lines using perfect-freehand and Skia renderer. It's my first published RN module.

No drawings are made with SVG. Under the hood, I used this library https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand

Thanks! For the pressure sensitive lines, I’m using another open source library that I made called perfect-freehand: https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand

Yep, I'm a big fan of Excalidraw and am a contributor there too. I also re-implemented the pen tool in Excalidraw to use my digital ink library, perfect freehand (https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand), which is used extensively in tldraw.

tldraw is a separate project. The big difference is that Excalidraw renders to HTML canvas while tldraw renders to a regular DOM tree. There's a trade off: canvas can have better performance on some machines, while my approach with tldraw makes it easier to implement more complex embedded content. I wouldn't expect any changes, so use whichever you prefer!
