Dispatches / a short note
Full E2E GPU rendered UI
Please delete chromium and electron apps for me pls
https://gpui.rs/ GPU rendering framework for UIs, a proper GPU UI
tldr: To me, if this can replace electron apps, and chromium wrappers (like discord), then it is totally worth to check this project. And based on quick investigation, it is certainly possible! (excluding some annoying discord nitro and other collaborative activities).

There is also odin, and it’s own video editor (built entirely with odin). That is interesting to check out too blick editor.
