# H2OT3
## Overview
**H2OT3** is an experimental cross‑platform GUI framework written in C.
Its goal is to provide a **fast**, **secure**, and **simple** foundation for building graphical applications with minimal overhead.
This project is currently a **proof of concept**.
Many features are incomplete or experimental.
---
## Current Status
H2OT3 is in early development.
The following limitations currently apply:
- Windows cannot be displayed reliably yet
- The event system is not implemented
- Several backends are missing or incomplete
- API design is still evolving
- No stable release yet
Despite this, the project already demonstrates the core ideas behind a lightweight, backend‑agnostic GUI layer.
---
## Goals
- **Cross‑platform windowing** (Win32, XCB, Cocoa, …)
- **Minimal and clean C API**
- **Fast startup and low overhead**
- **Secure memory handling**
- **Backend‑agnostic rendering**
- **Simple integration into existing C projects**
---
## Planned Features (Roadmap)
- [ ] Basic window creation on all platforms
- [ ] Event system (keyboard, mouse, resize, focus)
- [ ] Rendering abstraction
- [ ] Example applications
- [ ] Documentation
- [ ] First stable release (`v0.1.0`)
Another similar roadmap is in ROADMAP.md
