About

Going Native builds open-source desktop applications with Rust and GPUI. The project started from a simple observation: AI coding assistants have collapsed the cost of writing native software. Electron was always a compromise. It stopped being one worth making.

GPUI is a GPU-accelerated UI framework built by the team behind Zed. It's fast, it runs on the metal, and its model will feel familiar to anyone who's written React. That's the bet: native desktop apps, built with modern tooling, at a fraction of the cost that used to be required.

All projects are open-source. Contributions are welcome.
