Lightning 3
Lightning 3 is an open-source project focused on lightweight solutions for developing User Interfaces with hyper fast animations using Javascript and WebGL rendering.
With Lightning 3 you can create highly performant Apps for a smooth user experience on TV centric devices.
TV App Framework
As part of the Lightning 3 project we have created a TV App Framework optimized for the Lightning Renderer.
Blits is easy and intuitive to work with. It’s a full featured TV App framework for building high performing Lightning based TV apps, designed with a focus on performance.
Blits.Application({
template: `
<Element w="1920" h="1080" color="#000">
<Text :content="$title"/>
</Element>
`,
state() {
return {
title: 'Lightning 3'
}
},
input: {
enter() {
this.title = 'Lightning 3 is awesome!'
}
}
})Lightning 3 Release Announcement
