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
