"SolidJS: The Universal Renderer"
summary
Claims SolidJS is the fastest frontend framework and demonstrates a concrete Universal Renderer by wiring Solid into LightningJS (a WebGL renderer), implementing createElement/createTextNode and other renderer hooks so components become canvas nodes. It reuses Solid’s signals and effects for reactivity, runs on low‑power TV hardware (Raspberry Pi 3/4 level), solves hard text layout by integrating an SDF text renderer plus a simple Flex layout, and ships a keyboard/remote‑navigable demo app that’s open source.
