Probably because it's not meant to be like Bootstrap.js where everyone's UI looks identical?

Even still, some screenshots of here's something we made earlier are always nice to see what's possible

gpui is meant to be a fairly low level library. If you want screenshots check out zed, but be aware that for many use cases you'll have to roll your own widgets.

gpui-kit (formerly gpui-component) provides a richer set of widgets and a Javascript shell. Screenshots can be found here:

I don't know about you but I _want_ all UIs to look identical - specifically I want them to look like they belong on the platform I use, not the fever dream of some product person.
