This is awesome! Like you mentioned towards the end, I've been stewing on the idea of a React Native <-> React bridge for a while now too, but haven't had the time to thoroughly dig into the code of other custom renderers to find the right way of doing it. I'm confident that a combination of https://github.com/web-perf/react-worker-dom and https://github.com/alinz/react-native-webview-bridge would get most of the way there.
Thank you for shedding more light on the not-so-clear world of making a react renderer.
Bravo! I was going to build this soon for an upcoming project. I'll keep an eye on your repo!
Danke :) Anything in particular that was not obvious/bad about the blog post? I guess I'm still trying to find my voice here to explain different ideas in simple way, so any feedback is very welcome!
Were you going to build another replica of Pablo or?..

How does this compare to something like flipboard's "react-canvas" library?
My intention was to create a custom renderer from scratch instead of using an existing one. To learn more about how that stuff works, but also because react-canvas and react-art felt like too much.
I didn't want anything to get in my way, so what I made in Pabla really only exposes the canvas primitives. (Oh, and I also got to make my own text wrapping function.)
All in all, the point of the post is to fill the void in the custom renderers space, first and foremost; not to sell Canvas.jsx from Pabla :)
