troika (specifically troika-three-text)
Fastest possible text updates with or without React
1 project | /r/reactjs | 28 Mar 2021

Text is relatively hard to render with WebGL and browsers have a limit, of usually 16 framebuffers that you can use for WebGL contexts. Our charts are written for a WebGL target so we don't want to use up that precious resource for text rendering. In our specific use case we usually have a large degree of control over the browser so we can configure it, but if the target is web we don't have that control. Grabbing a WebGL context also takes a significant period of time, usually a hundred milliseconds or more on my computer, and not displaying data in that time isn't a great user experience.
