Pulp: Native GPU UI for Audio Plugins and Apps, with React + AI Design Import

I’ve been wondering what it would look like to build modern audio software in a world where AI agents exist without turning the whole thing into a soulless plugin factory.For the past month I’ve been building an open-source framework called Pulp: a cross-platform, GPU-rendered, native-first framework for audio plugins and interactive creative tools.Pulp targets standalone apps across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, along with plugin formats like VST3, AUv2, AUv3, CLAP, LV2, WAM, WebCLAP, and optionally AAX.The core idea is simple:I wanted browser-level capabilities and hot reloading without shipping a browser.Most modern UI tooling assumes one of two things:you’re building a web appyou’re embedding a WebView inside a native shellPulp takes a different approach.It renders natively using Skia and modern GPU backends (Metal, Vulkan, D3D12 via Dawn/WebGPU), while exposing a React-style development model and compatibility layers for modern design tooling.Interfaces can come from…
