Could you build this?
Partial The UI wrapper is standard, but authoring custom high-performance WebGPU/WGSL shaders with fallback WebGL 2 rendering in an ultra-lean footprint requires specialized graphics expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires writing custom WGSL compute/fragment shaders and GLSL fallbacks to handle image transitions, texture memory mapping, and rendering pipelines in pure WebGPU and WebGL2. The difficult part is building a unified lightweight abstraction layer (under 5KB) without depending on heavy libraries like Three.js or PixiJS, while maintaining cross-browser WebGPU compatibility. This requires specialized WebGPU graphics programming skills.
