N-API - The new native in node.js
summary
Claims that N-API provides a stable with Node 10 bi‑stable binary ABI that avoids recompiles across Node versions, demonstrates calling C++ via ImageMagick to read buffers, overlay rain and frame images, and returns buffers to JavaScript. Shows both synchronous and asynchronous implementations, uses an async worker / background thread to avoid blocking the main thread, and loads the same module in Electron without recompilation; demos succeed and source code is on the uploader's linked repo.
