Re: Native UI

Is Zed web-based or not? Would it be able to be hosted in the browser like the web-based version of Github Codespace (Visual Studio Code Online)?

If you will directly write yourself everything to a GL canvas anyway, what do you gain by going through a whole WebGL dependency & context rather than just using a native OpenGL context?
