Features

• 60fps by default.
• Input and render are fully decoupled, ie input can NEVER block rendering.
• Message-passing-like architecture
  • Components are updated and rendered asynchronously.
  • Components must not reference each other directly, but instead communicate via message passing.
  • Component updates are just reading the message queue from the mailbox, and updating the component's state accordingly. makeup assumes that any potentially-blocking task will be moved out of the update/render loop via tokio::spawn or similar, and managed via message-passing.
• Render-backend-agnostic.
  • Render backends are async.
  • Default backends are memory and UNIX-compatible terminal.
  • Render backends can be implemented for other protocols!
    • Provided to the UI on instantiation.
    • Ideas: WASM + <canvas>? Multiplex over the network?
