Why https://gpui.rs/ doesn't have a single screenshot of how it actually looks?

The first thing anyone would want to know when choosing a GUI framework is how it looks by default. Every major GUI toolkit has screenshots on their websites.

This happens so often it makes me wonder if people just don't know how to take a screenshot and put it in a webpage with <img>.

Click either of the 2 links at the top right of the page, and you get screenshots of GPUI apps.

Probably because it's not meant to be like Bootstrap.js where everyone's UI looks identical?

Even still, some screenshots of here's something we made earlier are always nice to see what's possible

I don't know about you but I _want_ all UIs to look identical - specifically I want them to look like they belong on the platform I use, not the fever dream of some product person.

Even imgui has screnshots.

gpui is meant to be a fairly low level library. If you want screenshots check out zed, but be aware that for many use cases you'll have to roll your own widgets.

gpui-kit (formerly gpui-component) provides a richer set of widgets and a Javascript shell. Screenshots can be found here:
