If SKIA run on web, then it can't have a C++ dependency. It seems that they deliver all such code as a WebAssembly bundle. In the end, you will have just a bunch of JS files - no C++ dependencies at all.

Also, just as an additional point of data - the exact library that you might need depends on what exactly you want to do. It may very well be that you don't even need a library and can just use WebGL directly.

good point, I guess it could have some mandatory backend but that would be a strange design. sorry the weirdness of the scenario slightly broke my brain

thanks for the help

Skia is a graphics library. It can be run natively, but can also be built via WebAssembly to be used in the browser, https://skia.org/docs/user/modules/canvaskit/

Unless you're also using skia to target other platforms, it's probably much easier just to use the canvas API directly.

curious - as i was thinking about this myself - would you use supabase with clojurescript? it didn’t seem optimal in regards to a db api compared to other clj solutions, but supabase would offload a lot of work

Yeah that was my plan. Just translate the curl or js commands to Supabase with cljs. I'm curious why you don't think that would be optimal.

personal preference, the interop syntax is more clunky to write - especially when compared to the datalog api’s available

Makes sense. I'm more worry about handling the auth for an app so I felt more comfortable offloading that to other professionals. Since I wanted to do that I figured since Supabase and Firebase offer auth services as well as the actual db I should just concentrate the effort there.

yep, that plus easy subscriptions and the administrative table UI for the database make it tempting! but i’ll prob hold-off for my use-case

Maybe I'll be the guinea pig for the community. If I really get into it maybe I can try and create a Clojure library for better interacting with it as I am seeing some similar community libraries for other languages. I've been wanting to get a first good open source project up and running to give back to the community.

@U0CKDV6DB has also been exploring it a little bit and has this public repo if you want to look there for one approach: https://github.com/theianjones/fulcro-should-i-train/blob/master/src/com/example/supabase.cljs
