Excellent episode ❤️ Especially around 29 mins in share.transistor.fm/s/9e2302c6#t... Maybe after I ship Dash and finally emerge from my extended heads-down mode (it’s been 84 years) I should come on and explain the full vision

My Electrobun 2.0 blog post is already 3400+ words and it's just the intro that covers my thoughts on AI in open source and how the Bun/Zig (Jarred/Andrew) drama affects the future of Electrobun. For those that like long thoughtful reads.

A month ago I shipped Electrobun v1. A week ago I shipped a deep WGPU integration. A day ago I added 35 desktop apps people are already shipping built with Electrobun to the Readme. An hour ago Electrobun passed 10,000 Github stars.

oh if it's just a "quick" scan of my face then it's fine. as long as it's quick. my, and most people's, primary issue with scanning of the face is how long it usually takes. scan away, just don't take too long.

DOOM is nice, but what if you could use a <electrobun-wgpu> html element right next to your <electrobun-webview> elements and instead of a fully isolated OOPIF you get a super powered GPU surface integrated into the host webview's DOM powered by (bun FFI or native FFI) -> wgpu.

Replacing Python as the glue for direct to GPU ML tasks is nice, but what about DOOM 2 ways: - A C implementation (based on DoomGeneric) rendered into a GPU window. - A TypeScript port of DOOM that renders into the same kind of GPU window, using Electrobun’s WGPU APIs from Bun.

In a few days you no longer need Python, pip, venv, virtualenv, conda, mamba, poetry, pipenv, uv, pyenv-virtualenv, asdf, system python, homebrew python, conda python. Just native on-GPU ML/AI glue and workloads directly from Bun typescript. No webview, in Electrobun.

Games are nice, but Electrobuns new bun -> wgpu unlocks raw gpu compute as well. - lines of code: html: 72, css: 195, browser ts: 318, bun ts: 450. - the ui is using a system webview - the training and inference is done on gpu direct from bun typescript. - dmg is 20.9MB

This is an Electrobun video game app i vibe coded - 800 lines of typescript in bun - 1 bunny logo, carrots are generated - uses Electrobun's built-in Babylon adapter * wgpu window - no webviews - dmg is 21MB (basically the bun runtime + wgpu compressed) - updates as small as 4KB

three.js is nice, but what about a robust adapter for working with Babylon’s WebGPUEngine directly from bun without needing a webview.

top secret fam. DO NOT SHARE EXTERNALLY. the little window that opens up from the Electrobun Kitchen Sink *does not contain a webview*. - no dom - no cssom - just a native window - with direct access to webgpu/metal - three.js api layered on top - directly in bun typescript

Should I add a GPU-native Renderer (Skia / bgfx / wgpu) as an alternative to just using webviews in Electrobun? So you'd be able to open a window that can load html/js/css right next to a window that renders straight to the GPU for 2D and 3D scenes github.com/blackboardsh...
