Had a little hack getting Haze working on older Android devices.
It uses RenderScript, so is never going to be real-time, but the lag isn't too bad. Everything is performed asynchronously, so this isn't jank.
I'm undecided whether to keep going with it. Let me know if this would be useful to you.

Check which build configuration you're using (build scheme controls this). KMP integration relies on it being called 'Release' by default.
You can force it by setting a user defined `KOTLIN_FRAMEWORK_BUILD_TYPE` build setting.
We have 3 build configs (Dev, etc), mapped to a Kotlin build config:

💠 Here's a sneak preview of something that I've been working on in Haze: overlapping areas
With this you'll be able to implement those classic glassmorphic card effects. I still need to run the performance benchmarks, but it seems to be working nicely...

Haze 1.1 💠 has been released!
The main change is the new 'Input Scale' parameter, which allows you to set an optional (down)scaling mode. This should have a positive effect on performance when enabled.

I always love drilling down into the referrers.
Reddit is the biggest by far for me, which surprises me every time I look, as I rarely post there myself.
