macOS Native Canvas Development

Build high-performance native macOS apps with Swift + Metal + AppKit, with optional libghostty terminal embedding. Optimized for developers coming from TypeScript/Python.

Architecture Decision: AppKit + SwiftUI Hybrid

Always use the hybrid pattern. Pure SwiftUI cannot handle custom Metal rendering, fine-grained gesture control, or low-level window management. Pure AppKit is too verbose for standard UI chrome.
