Keeping your Pixels perfect
summary
Claims that Paparazzi turns multi-minute Android UI iteration into seconds by running the IDE’s layout lib rendering pipeline on a pure JVM, using transformed framework jars, fake delegates and a Gradle plugin to point at merged resources. It compiles layouts, inflates views, captures HTML screenshots and GIFs (animations via choreographer delegates), and catches regressions in real widgets and third‑party views. Cash App uses it end‑to‑end; most screens render correctly though a few theming/font clipping issues remain to finish. seconds vs 4 minutes
