FAQ

How is this any different from winit?

The goal of winit is to manage local application windows, whether that be creation or general window management. In contrast, fowin focuses on managing foreign windows unbeknownst to the local application. This requires an entirely different set of APIs that aren't currently (and unsure if ever will be) supported by winit.
