GPUI-CE — GPUI Community Edition

A minimal counter view: state lives on the struct, layout reads like a stylesheet, and every frame is rebuilt cheaply and diffed onto the GPU.

src/counter.rs

// a small view over app state
struct Counter {
    count: i32,
}

impl Render for Counter {
    fn render(&mut self, cx: &mut Context<Self>) -> impl IntoElement {
        div()
            .flex()
            .gap_3()
            .p_4()
            .bg(rgb(0x131315))
            .child(format!("count: {}", self.count))
            .child(
                button("increment").on_click(cx.listener(
                    |view, _, cx| {
                        view.count += 1;
                        cx.notify();
                    }
                ))
            )
    }
}

03 — Why a community edition

The framework, kept moving on its own terms.

GPUI was built to serve one editor's roadmap. GPUI-CE exists so the framework itself can grow independently — its own versioning, its own review process, and a contribution path open to anyone building with it, not only those building Zed.
