In plain words

Svglib is a Windows library that parses and renders SVG images for Win32 applications and games. It leverages Direct2D for GPU-accelerated rendering and XMLLite for XML parsing, enabling developers to display scalable vector graphics efficiently. The library is designed to integrate SVG support into native Windows applications and games.

  • Svader – Create GPU-rendered Svelte components2024 · github.com · ▲189

    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…

    I have been working on Hyvector for the last five years and finally decided to present the result of my work. Hyvector is an SVG editor that runs in all modern browsers. It is stable, very fast, and capable of handling complex SVG images. Big new features like art strokes, vector tracing, colorizing are in the making, but for now the focus is on pushing a polished first release out of the door. I would love to hear any feedback on what you like, missing features, or any bugs you encounter via our issue tracker: https://github.com/hyvectorapp/hyvector-issues Note that…
