This is the first GUI app I've seen built with WebGPU. This is pretty interesting, could this be the future of cross platform GUI frameworks?

AFAIK wezterm[1] and warp[2] are built on top of the WebGPU

[2] https://www.warp.dev

I thought Warp was built with GPUI from https://zed.dev/, which is built using Metal (thus macOS only).

wezterm added support for it but that's not the only option. I don't really know much about webgpu but as far as I know wezterm does not run on the browser. https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/lua/config/front_end.h...

Check the roadmap, it's macOS desktop -> web browser -> linux desktop -> windows desktop -> nintendo switch (??)

Flutter uses canvas, AFAIK. Similar concept, but 2D
