Bring your Raspberry Pi projects to life with XFrames' native Node.js support! Create sleek, high-performance GUIs using React and Yoga layouts, optimized for the Pi's lightweight hardware.

Raspberry Pi has transformed how we approach computing, offering a powerful and affordable platform for countless projects. Now, with XFrames' new native Node.js support, you can unlock even more potential. Create high-performance graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with React while taking full advantage of the Raspberry Pi's capabilities.

Why XFrames is a Perfect Fit for Raspberry Pi​

Raspberry Pi devices excel in lightweight, efficient computing environments, but traditional GUI frameworks often introduce unnecessary overhead. XFrames takes a different approach: a DOM-free architecture powered by native Node.js, optimized for GPU rendering and lean execution. This ensures your applications are as responsive and resource-efficient as possible.

What You Can Do with XFrames on Raspberry Pi

  • Native Node.js Support: Harness the power of Node.js to create performant applications without the complexity of browser-based engines.
  • GPU-Accelerated Rendering: Leverage the Pi's GPU for smooth and responsive GUIs.
  • React and Yoga Layouts: Build modern, flexible interfaces with familiar tools.
  • Cross-Platform Development: Code on your desktop, deploy on your Raspberry Pi seamlessly.

The Next Steps​

This release is just the beginning for Raspberry Pi support in XFrames. We're committed to refining the experience, enhancing performance, and introducing new features tailored to Pi developers.
