The one path where the look is chosen before the picture exists: OPEN CAMERA grades the camera's own feed with the recipe in force, many times a second, and the shutter hands the studio the sensor's still under that same recipe. Preview and file differ in resolution only — the still is `takePhoto`'s own frame, not a copy of the small preview video, with `grabFrame` and a 2d copy of the element behind it for the browsers that ship no ImageCapture. The renderer gains two inputs for it: `sourceImage`, a picture the caller already decoded (re-encoding the camera's frame to JPEG only to decode it again would cost more than the whole render), and `drawTo`, which paints the finished picture instead of encoding it. One render is in flight at a time; a frame that arrives during one is dropped, so a slow device shows a lower frame rate rather than a queue of moments that have passed. The view flashed black on a phone. Setting width/height on a canvas resets its bitmap: measured on the preview, a resize leaves mean 0 until the next render lands, which on this box is 0.5s and on a phone more. The buffer was sized from every incoming frame, and a capture that renegotiates its resolution — which Chromium does when the page is too slow to consume its frames, and this pipeline runs ~2 fps at 720p under software GL — strobed black/picture at every switch. The buffer is now sized on the first frame and after that only when the frame's aspect changes: a same-aspect frame is scaled into it. Swapping a 1280x720 stream for a 640x360 one mid-view now leaves the buffer at 1280x720 with no black frame, and 640x360 renders at 6-13 fps instead of 2. The frames are read from a <video>, which is now IN the document (1px, behind the black backdrop) rather than detached: Safari draws blank frames from a detached video, which is the same black-between-pictures. It leaves the document with the view, and the tracks are stopped, so the camera light goes out. Probes: cam-smoke (feed painted, resolution, frame rate, a monochrome sim reaching the live frames, shutter into the studio, close, console clean), cam-renegotiate (no resize, no blank frame, status line on the frames), cam-close-flip (flip returns a picture; video gone on close).
RecipesCam
RecipesCam is a camera and photo-editing app built around recipes — reusable
looks that carry a film simulation plus a full set of adjustments. You shoot or
open a photo, dial in a look, and keep it as a recipe you can apply again, share
as a .recipe file, or save to your account.
It ships twice from one repository: a React Native (Expo) app for iOS and
Android, and a self-contained web build under docker/ that runs the same
render pipeline in the browser.
What it does
- Shoot with a recipe applied. Live viewfinder, GPS-tagged captures, and the recipe baked into the saved file.
- Film simulations. Built-in looks — PROVIPES, VELVIPES, CLASSIC CHRIPES, CLASSIC NEGIPES, ASTIPES, ETERNIPES, ACRIPES, B&W HIGH CONTRAST and the LC STREETLIFE pair — each with its own grain and tone curve.
- The full adjustment set. Exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows, saturation, colour temperature, clarity, grain, and an HSL mixer with a colour picker that samples straight off the photo.
- Geometry. Crop to a fixed ratio or free-form, quarter turns, and a straighten ruler, plus printed frames (classic border, retro instant, wall frame portrait/landscape).
- Finishing. Watermark and GPS stamp, EXIF carried through the export, JPEG written with a proper 300 DPI JFIF header.
- On-device upscaling. A Real-ESRGAN pass runs locally when an export asks for more pixels than the source has — no server sees the photo.
- Recipes. Save, favourite, export and import
.recipefiles; the web build keeps them in your account, the phone build also keeps them on device.
The two builds
| Build | Where | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| iOS / Android | repo root | Expo + React Native, @shopify/react-native-skia for the render pipeline, NativeWind for styling |
| Web | docker/ |
Vite + React, CanvasKit (canvaskit-wasm) for the same pipeline, Fastify + SQLite API for accounts and recipes |
The render engine is shared by design: the web build compiles the app's own
src/utils/* and type definitions unchanged, with @shopify/react-native-skia
aliased to a CanvasKit shim (docker/frontend/src/engine/skiaShim.ts). A look
looks the same on both because it is the same code.
Running the web build
cd docker
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
# → http://localhost:8090
Photos never leave the browser: grading, framing, watermarking and JPEG
encoding all run in the visitor's tab; the API only stores accounts and recipe
JSON. See docker/README.md for the layout and the proxy setup.
Running the app
npm install
npx expo start # Expo Go / dev client
npx expo run:android # or run:ios for a native build
