FastCanvas

Context

Web-based image editors are often sluggish due to heavy DOM manipulation, or they require uploading images to a server, compromising privacy and speed.

Motivation

I wanted a lightweight, desktop-grade composition editor that runs entirely client-side with native-like frame rates and absolute data sovereignty.

Outcome

A high-performance HTML5 canvas image editor featuring layer management, blend modes, real-time filters, and offline capability with zero server overhead.
