Make the Web Brighter with the CSS Paint API
summary
CSS Paint API shows concrete hacks not promises: paint worklets run off the main thread with a 2D canvas context and paint worklet registration, responsive images redraw on element resize, and Chrome 65 already implements it. Examples draw circles, stars and material-like backgrounds, render a working QR code generated via a sync module import, build pie/donut and bar charts (G3 import suggested), try WebAssembly import unfinished, and animate via requestAnimationFrame or typed custom properties.
