# wgpu vs photocraft

wgpu and photocraft share 5 technologies: objc2-foundation, Tokio, wgpu, winit, and log. Both are written in Rust.

- [gfx-rs/wgpu](https://seerepo.com/r/gfx-rs/wgpu): A cross-platform, safe, pure-Rust graphics API.
- [storytold/photocraft](https://seerepo.com/r/storytold/photocraft): PhotoCraft: An open-source, photo editor written by scratch in pure Rust

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: objc2-foundation, Tokio, wgpu, winit, log
- Only in wgpu: concurrent-queue, Deno, indicatif, wgpu-hal, ash, glow, objc2-metal, objc2-quartz-core, tracy-client, env_logger
- Only in photocraft: objc2-app-kit, skrifa, parley, x11rb, rfd, muda, rmcp, roxmltree, image, resvg, jxl-oxide, plist, png, schemars

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
