This is a second part of a 2-part series, in which I describe a new view framework I developed while working on an experimental React concurrent mode profiler. In part 1, I discussed why implementing a view abstraction was necessary. In this part, we'll discuss what this framework looks like.…
This summer, I have been working on an experimental React concurrent mode profiler as part of the inaugural batch of the MLH Fellowship. One of the biggest engineering challenges I had was to optimize our canvas rendering. This was no small task. A single 10-second profile can have over 100,…
