Why ...

WebGPU?

It's cool new tech.

Electron?

Just trying it out, no reason.

not Tauri?

Tauri uses WebKitGTK for WebView on Linux, which currently does not to support WebGPU.

Electron uses Chromium which has support for it under the flag enable-unsafe-webgpu (+ enable-features=Vulkan on Linux).

In the future

• Functioning controls
• User input
• Three dimensions :O
