Title: The UX of Performance: Why I swapped a library for the Canvas API

As a designer who also builds, I spent my morning deleting code
to save the user experience.

I’ve been using a library to generate social sharing images in my
app, but it was heavy and the output was "fuzzy" on some devices.
Today, I switched to the native Canvas 2D API.

The UX wins:

1. Speed: The app generates the "Match Score" cards instantly now. No more loading spinners.
2. Visual Fidelity: Pixel-perfect cards that look sharp on any screen.
3. Consistency: I have 100% control over the typography and layout.

It’s a reminder that sometimes the "UX" of a product isn't just
about the colors or the buttons — it’s about the performance and
reliability of the output the user actually receives.

Have you ever fought a technical limitation to protect a design
detail?
