The Future of React Native Graphics: WebGPU, Skia, and Beyond (2025) - Shopify

In the last three years, React Native Skia has established itself as the go-to solution for 2D graphics on React Native. And we are seeing many users pushing the boundaries of what can be done with th...

Thanks @wcandillon.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to update the gesture example in the “can it be done” repo with simultaneous transformations! These Instagram / Social media features are so fun to make with Skia! github.com/wcandillon/c...

The game is on: we are bringing WebGPU to React Native. This update enables: 🐎 Seamless Reanimated integration for UI thread rendering 🧊ThreeJS and React Three Fiber are a major focus to bring stunning 3d experiences to React Native. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9t-...

That was a great presentation 👏 Wish I had more time to play with Skia and WebGPU 😭

The React Native animation ecosystem keeps improving This ~40min video keeps dropping impressive announcements that it's impossible to summarize The future is bright: compose and interleave 2D/3D animations in a performant way across all platforms 🤗

My TypeGPU & Koota ECS game project works on React Native! 🎮 (cc @pmnd.rs) It's been a great test bed for JavaScript shaders, as well as for discovering any edge-cases we don't yet support. #webgpu #typegpu #gamedev #javascript

Thanks to Ruud and @wcandillon.bsky.social for adding TV support to react-native-skia! I got @wa2goose.bsky.social 's excellent victory-native tutorial working today...

Can it be done in React Native, yes! At WWDC 2024, Apple added a new API for creating custom UI effects using Metal shaders. I wanted to see if you could do the same with React Native. With react-native-skia, you can! Left is the Apple demo, right is skia on react-native-macos 😃

Success! For Christmas this year, I got React Native Skia working on macOS! Along the way I learned quite a bit about Shaders, WebGPU, and just how extensively Skia is used. It's such an interesting space! I'm glad there are still new things to learn in UI dev 😎

what’s the best way to create a compilation database on a React Native project (iOS or Android). I haven’t found a good way yet, would like to run clang-tidy on my project

Does this app means the end of "link in the comment" and other shenanigans where people fold to the algorithm instead other way around? That'd be nice 😊

This is a PSA to upgrade to RN Skia 1.5.10 as it contains substantials improvements on Android.

Over time, we've received many meaningful contributions to React Native Skia. Lately, the most important ones came from detailed bug reports and clear reproducible examples on somewhat elusive issues. And the cherry on top: a very upbeat attitude in the process. Thank you 💙
