Awesome! Glad to see skia is finding uses in places other than fuschia

Well, it powers web rendering in Chrome
And Android graphics...
And Canvas in Firefox...
And Flutter on Canvas
And there was work in the Chromium PDF library, pdfium, to switch to SKIA from AGG. It was going slowly for many years and wasn't finished last time I looked about three years ago.
And some rendering libraries in .NET
And the new UI framework for Jetbrains Fleet. And the new UI framework for Clojure Humble UI
Skia is also used by "Compose Multiplatform" by JetBrains. https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-multiplatform/
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Flutter also uses Skia for rendering UI
FWIW Flutter is now moving sway from Skia, they are migrating to a dedicated custom GPU renderer (Impeller).
Note that skia is only ever used on fuchsia for flutter. It shares that dependency on skia for all platforms it targets (which haven't otherwise been migrated to impeller).
I guess it won't be used any more since, as discussed elsewhere in the comments, Flutter has moved from Skia to Impeller.
Its the optional rendering engine in Delphi's cross platform framework (fire monkey) now to.
It works wonderfully well for my react native app, see https://shopify.github.io/react-native-skia/ for details!
VVVV uses it too!
In case anyone is wondering: visualprogramming.net
And VVVVV doesn't! :)
