# Plauna

Hybrid DOM/GPU UI framework and workbench. Source: `plauna/`.

## In this section

- [Overview](overview.md) — features, rendering modes, module map.
- [Architecture](architecture.md) — the state → visual tree → DOM/GPU pipeline.
- [Getting Started](getting-started.md) — initialize, measure text, create surfaces.
- **API Reference** — per-file symbols from `plauna/` (browse `plauna/reference/`).
