some screenshots and examples would have been appreciated. none on the site, repo, or last couple of blog posts. weird.

  A UI framework with no screenshots of the UI. Come on folks.

What does power usage look like? Is it retained or immediate? Does the API feel similar to any existing UI library?

  GPUI is a hybrid immediate and retained mode, GPU accelerated, UI framework for Rust, designed to support a wide variety of applications. https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/gpui/README.md https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/gpui/...

One of the top comments in Zed's post claim this performs really nicely, but I imagine it doesn't run on GNU/Linux on it's own either; it'll probably come before Zed itself, and hopfully makes a splash so I can check it out then.

This looks great! Looks like development is focused on Mac OS for now. Windows and Linux are not supported yet[1]. [1] https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5391 https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5391

I don't want to come off as rude, but why would I ever use this vs something like Tauri? I could use familiar tools (html/css/js/react...) with Tauri and cut the verbosity that this would entail

  I have been working on a hobby project in Tauri and I am incredibly intrigued by GPUI. - I already keep all my state and logic in Rust - GPUI would allow me to skip Tauri commands and listeners and instead just implement the renderers directly on the already existing structs. - The renderer is inspired by Tailwind, which would make the transition for me super easy as I already use it on the Tauri browser part. - The performance and latency has got to be better than going through a webview. If the Zed editor is any indication, it’s about as good as it can be That said I obviously haven’t started converting my app yet. Documentation is very sparse and I don’t feel like wading through source code to figure out how to accomplish anything…
