# longbridge/gpui-fast

> 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

## Why it’s here

- 10 stars so far today, about 20 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 3 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 6 days old and already has 94 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #167.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @1jehuang (890 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 4
- Issues and pull requests: 26
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 15 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2

## Stars per day, last 11 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
