Tbilisi JS Meetup #7 — «Why Do Browser Shadows Still Look Like It's 2007?» —Аleksandr Korotaev

Tbilisi JS Meetup #7, August 2025 🍕 Supported by Exante. Have you ever wondered why shadows, rounded corners, and borders have similar limitations on the web and mobile devices? The answer lies in rendering algorithms that have been optimized for decades to address standard scenarios. Аleksandr Korotaev, a developer and organizer of SPB Frontend, explored how browsers render shadows, rounded corners, and process vector graphics — from CSS rules to GPU operations. And it turns out that the challenges of web and mobile development share the same roots: triangulation, Gaussian blur, and GPU constraints. If you want to understand why design sometimes “breaks” code, this talk is for you. Interview with the speaker — https://t.me/tbilisi_js/518
