## What it is
A React Native library that brings the WebGPU API to mobile and desktop apps, powered by Dawn (Chrome's WebGPU implementation). It supports iOS, Android, macOS, visionOS, and Web.

## Use cases
- render gpu-accelerated graphics in a react native app
- use webgpu api on ios and android
- build cross-platform 2d/3d rendering with webgpu
- run webgpu shaders in react native
- port webgpu web apps to mobile

## When to choose
- you need modern GPU rendering in React Native across iOS, Android, and web
- you want WebGPU API compatibility backed by Dawn
- you're building graphics-intensive mobile apps with Expo

## When to avoid
- you only need basic UI rendering without GPU workloads
- you target platforms outside the supported list
- you need a stable 1.0 API - the project is still pre-1.0

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, gpu-computing, ui-components
- domain: mobile-development, graphics, cross-platform, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: webgpu, dawn, react-native, expo, gpu-rendering, typescript, ios, android, macos, web
