What Hacker News says
2 sourcesA fantastic work, one of the few true graphic libraries that are not the usual pset and drawcircle but true gui management in plain C!
regarding esp32 porting, i have seen that it is possible to use in conjunction with other graphics libraries as 'low level drivers' (e.g. bodmer's classic TFT_eSPI[0]) but i still don't understand the pros and cons of this approach; hypothetically, if i used faster LovyanGFX[1], would LVGL gain in responsiveness?
if so, how to do this?
