# endui

A sequel to TWn, completely rewritten

## Why rewrite?

- TWn had many bugs and crashes

- I wanted to rewrite it completely with C (maybe c3) for more speed

- I wanted to use CMake as a build system to make testing and cross-platforming easier

- TWn had really bad codebase, like, the entire drawing was in a main.c, endui will solve that

## Pros/Cons of using EndUI

### Pros

- The most lightweight window manager

- Supports TTY only environment (like a fresh archlinux install)

- Easy to develop apps

### Cons

- Doesn't support GTK/Qt (or others) gui frameworks

- Every app is a .so file which can cause linker errors at runtime

## API

- [API documentation](APIDOCS.md)

EndUI will be tested on as many platforms as possible to avoid all bugs
