During February 2026, contributed to the JetBrains/skiko repository by implementing custom blend modes in the graphics rendering pipeline. This work introduced new APIs, including RuntimeEffect.makeForBlender() and Paint.blender, allowing developers to define user-specific color blending rules for on-screen rendering. Using C++ and Kotlin, the implementation expanded Skiko’s graphics capabilities, enabling downstream applications to achieve richer visual effects and more flexible UI designs. The approach focused on enhancing the rendering pipeline to support bespoke blending logic, aligning with ongoing product goals for UI and graphics extensibility. No bugs were fixed during this period, with efforts concentrated on feature development.
