This site is the personal home of William Candillon, a well-known figure in the React Native community. It centers on his open-source projects, most notably React Native Skia and React Native WebGPU, along with Redraw, a newer library he is building for both web and native platforms. Rather than a broad tutorial portal, it functions as a project hub where announcements, articles, and access to ongoing work are collected in one place.

The core focus is Redraw, a library built on WebGPU that aims to provide a new grade of 2D primitives. Its documented capabilities include variable stroke width and color driven by TypeScript functions executed on the GPU, geometry-aware shading that can follow a path’s curvature, and vector feathering for soft, distance-based blur. These features target rendering effects that are difficult to achieve with conventional canvas or SVG approaches.

The site is aimed at React Native and web developers with an interest in high-performance graphics, particularly those already working with Skia or evaluating GPU-based rendering. Readers who follow the author’s video series or open-source contributions will find project updates and technical articles here. Casual beginners are less likely to find introductory material.

A practical note: some content, including the Redraw technical preview, is gated behind sign-in and subscription. Visitors should check the Articles and Open Source sections first to gauge relevance, and treat the subscription as a way t
