@brettm@swarm.coiloptic.org that would just give you a window, you still need to actually render something to put on it, which is nontrivial by itself and creating things like buttons, text inputs and such is also more complex than it might seem (there's a lot of edge cases involved lol), so using a toolkit is almost always the simplest option

@brettm@swarm.coiloptic.org gtk could be considered a bad choice since it's a fairly advanced toolkit, something simpler like imgui might be preferable, but using gtk also makes theming interop simpler so there are tradeoffs
