About the project

Experimental fork of GPUI from Zed adding retained mode: redraws only changed views and layout nodes, speeding up rendering without changing the API. Window composition with native WebViews is planned next.

Useful for

Speed up GPUI UI rendering without rewriting existing UI code
Compare retained vs immediate mode performance via the retained_bench test
Disable retention with GPUI_VIEW_RETENTION=0 to debug frame differences
