sauron VS pathfinder

This project started as a way to test out sauron web framework, but it turns out to be usable and can be embedded in a web applications such as markdown source code renderer.

There is also sauron Disclaimer: I'm the author

This was a fixed to an issue, but I ended up formulating a new diffing algorithm which solves all of the corner cases.

Try sauron, no ceremonial code, straight to the point, clean and concise with lots of examples

There is a code example here that allows you to use custom elements with sauron, maybe it's a good starting point for a working web component.

From Zero to Production in Rust is a useful guide for getting full stack Rust in production. My favorite client-side web framework is currently sauron.

Sauron https://github.com/ivanceras/sauron is also crazy fast.

sauron - a web framework in rust, as a replacement for react, or elm.

https://github.com/coconut-xr/apfel-kruemel works today, I only know about battery-optimized software in the context of games though.

https://felt.com/blog/svg-to-canvas-part-2-building-interact... and https://github.com/servo/pathfinder/ might also be of interest.

Parts of Servo to enable the use of the GPU for compositing layers were merged into Firefox years ago.

It's a shame that Patrick Walton didn't get a chance to finish his work on the Pathfinder GPU renderer.

>Pathfinder 3 is a fast, practical, GPU-based rasterizer for fonts and vector graphics using OpenGL 3.0+, OpenGL ES 3.0+, WebGL 2, and Metal.

It uses too much CPU and performance leaves much to be desired compared to Chromium. They were going to use Pathfinder in Firefox to solve this problem, but since Pathfinder is discontinued due to the massive layoffs at Mozilla, the project was abandoned. And they need a replacement IMO.

I am not an expert in the area, just somebody who read up on it after realizing desktop in VR does not work out for me (and usually low res is not a problem).

I think something like https://github.com/servo/pathfinder (newer) and as you mentioned SDF (older) are the latest approaches.

This is exciting! And, by the way, are you planning to implement something similar to Servo's Pathfinder in Firefox?

Also on my list was pathfinder. There the documented crate is vastly different from https://github.com/servo/pathfinder which looks much more promising – it comes with a few examples, some of wihch might help me get started, maybe?

Have you checked out the Pathfinder library?

Don't forget gpu-based text rendering (e.g. #1, #2, #3). It's still in its infant stages, and seems to be mostly untouched over the past 5 years, but I suspect it will become the preferred method for rendering text later.
