Minimal graphics API. Built on top of latest Vulkan extensions. As close as possibly to my "No Graphics API" blog post and the SIGGRAPH talk.

About the project

An experimental Vulkan 1.4 implementation of the "No Graphics API" ideas: GPU pointers instead of buffers, application-owned descriptor heaps, hazard-based barriers. A thin low-level Vulkan wrapper for graphics programmers.

Useful for
  • Build the examples on Vulkan 1.4 to study an API without descriptor sets or pipeline layouts
  • Port shaders to Slang using 64-bit GPU pointers and descriptor heaps
  • Evaluate hazard-based synchronization instead of resource state transitions

0.9 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 10, 2026, 00:00 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0300600August 31, 2026October 29, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • There are not enough fresh counter measurements for today's UTC day. The gain is unknown.
  • The repository is 40 days old and already has 1,614 stars.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

The full 7-day window is unavailable; no weekly total or comparison is calculated.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
