Gooey: A GPU-accelerated UI framework for Zig

SMRTR summary

Gooey is a GPU-accelerated UI framework for Zig, targeting macOS (Metal), Linux (Vulkan/Wayland), and browser (WASM/WebGPU). It features a declarative, component-based layout system, a clean Cx/UI separation for state management, built-in animations, accessibility support, and zero external Zig dependencies. Still in early development, but already includes virtualized lists, drag-and-drop, custom shaders, and a full Linux Wayland/Vulkan implementation.
