I'm curious, what if anything is different from node-canvas? Not that I'm complaining in any way, just curious.

- Keverw 6y agoWonder if maybe it has less dependencies, that would be a win. like for example on Mac you need cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg for Node Canvas. So got to note it down for devs to put on their machines, and then remember to also add the same packages to the containers for deployment or if not using containers install on the server directly. I was playing with Node Canvas ages ago to create placeholder profile pics pngs using a random color background and letter.
- wffurr 6y agoThis uses the Skia backend instead of Cairo. It will give results closer to Chrome's Canvas implementation. It also doesn't appear to support Windows yet, whereas node-canvas does. There's probably other differences, e.g. performance, size, etc. but you'd have to measure them.
