Comment on Keeping Figma Fast: perf-testing the WASM editorparent

Comments

Last time I checked, Penpot was creating/destroying actual SVG elements in the dom. I get the sentiment of wanting to use open technology, but for the average user Figma's "copy as svg" is probably open enough. And switching to canvas based rendering would probably improve performance a lot.

Imagining a future where Penpot gets Blender-level resources and implements an SVG VM in WASM that renders to WebGL.
