    Just wanted to share with HN a simple/minimal open source Python library that generates SVG files visualizing two dimensional data and distributions, in case others find it useful or interesting. I wrote it as a fun project, mostly because I found that the standard libraries in Python generated unnecessarily large SVG files. One nice property is that I can configure the visuals through CSS, which allows me to support dark/light mode browser settings. The graphs are specified as JSON files (the repository includes a few examples). It supports scatterplots, line plots, histograms,…

    Svader is a library for rendering 2D shaders on Svelte websites, using either WebGL or WebGPU. It's streamlined for the specific use case of rendering 2D graphics using fragment shaders as an alternative to SVG or the JS canvas API, so it's not meant for doing 3D objects like three.js, for example. This started as something I needed for my own project, but I eventually decided to split it into a separate library. I've since found that this use case fits really well into the Svelte compiler-based approach and its fine-grained reactivity system. In general, I think using shaders like these has…

    Hi HN, I've been working on ThorVG, an open-source vector graphics engine. It started as a lightweight SVG renderer and has gradually evolved into a rendering engine supporting SVG, Lottie, and modern GPU backends. This demo showcases the latest ThorVG 1.1 running entirely in the browser. Try it here: https://thorvg-janitor.vercel.app ThorVG v1.1: https://www.thorvg.org/post/thorvg-v1-1-rising-the-standard

    Hi HN. We’ve just released ThorVG 1.0, which marks a maturity milestone for the engine. Earlier versions focused on feature growth; this release emphasizes stability, backend parity, and consistent rendering behavior across platforms, including the web. ThorVG is an open-source, embeddable C++ 2D vector graphics engine used for SVG-style graphics and Lottie. [What 1.0 means] This version is less about new features and more about engine readiness: - Improved rendering performance and engine optimizations - Improved blending accuracy and text layout behavior - WebGL backend now officially…

    Hi HN! Korean high school senior here, about to start CS in college. I built a browser engine from scratch in C++ to understand how browsers work. First time using C++, 8 weeks of development, lots of debugging—but it works! Features: - HTML parsing with error correction - CSS cascade and inheritance - Block/inline layout engine - Async image loading + caching - Link navigation + history Hardest parts: - String parsing(html, css) - Rendering - Image Caching & Layout Reflowing What I learned (beyond code): - Systematic debugging is crucial - Ship with known bugs rather than chase…

    I use this library I made for Vectors and Quaternions in many personal projects. I've open-sourced it, in case anyone else would get use out of it. I use this on various projects, including quadcopter firmware, a graphics engine, a cosmology simulation, and several molecular dynamics applications. No_std compatible.
