The view is amazing from up here. Also, less oxygen I guess?

I'm documenting a network topology and I wanted to draw a diagram of it. I thought: let's see what ChatGPT can do! So I spent almost an hour to write a detailed description of the network (which I had to write anyway), answered a few questions (which is nice since it made clear that a few things in my description were ambiguous) and asked it to generate a diagram. It took a long time, but it's amazingly useful and detailed and totally not a waste of compute. AGI my ass.

I'm back on working on my triangles and I've good news! 🎉

I added some very basic keyboard support, so here's a video with a shitty example (using vello and parley for rendering).

This shows that windows can capture events, it's possible to update the model as they are processed and this re-triggers the rendering.

I have a few things to sort out, like version bumps, winit backend, docs and after this I'll publish it.

A kick right in the memories.

But when I do

Today I added [vello](https://github.com/linebender/vello) to my example.

At start up, 2 windows are created: there are 2 renderers initialized: one renders a red triangle and one renders a blue triangle. Onto win1, the red-triangle renderer is called twice.

When the window is closed, 3 other renderers are initialized: one renders a green triangle, one renders a magenta triangle and the latest one uses vello to render a circle in gray background.

So, last week I started building something. I don't have much time for it, basically 1 day a week, but I'm happy I've got time to work on it.

In the scope of a larger project, I started hacking a Rust library to compose wgpu renderers over multiple windows.

Here's a first screenshot. I'll release something as soon as it is marginally useful. Right now, it isn't.
