Being annoyed by the limitations of OpenGL for scientific visualizations, it seemed like a significant improvement. When the specification was released, I was both fascinated and terrified by its extreme complexity. I understood mostly nothing at first. I took it as a personal challenge to learn it and do something with it.&lt;p&gt;After dozens of times reading the documentation and experimenting with the code (tutorials were scarce at the time), I started to understand the most basic functionality. I spent much of the Covid lockdowns playing with Vulkan and developing prototypes of a scientific visualization library in C [1].&lt;p&gt;In the process, I wrote a thin wrapper in C on top of Vulkan to make it less painful to use [2]. It turns out this wrapper is quite similar to WebGPU. I&amp;#x27;ll explore interoperability avenues later.&lt;p&gt;Datoviz is still an experimental project. I&amp;#x27;m actively working on the next version of Datoviz which I hope to release in a few months.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;cyrille.rossant.net&amp;#x2F;datoviz&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;cyrille.rossant.net&amp;#x2F;datoviz&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;datoviz.org&amp;#x2F;howto&amp;#x2F;standalone_vklite&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;datoviz.org&amp;#x2F;howto&amp;#x2F;standalone_vklite&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
<story><title>Vulkan Documentation</title><url>https://docs.vulkan.org/</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>dcow</author><text>I don’t know what the old site was like so maybe this is actually an improvement, but I find this site really difficult to use and possibly even broken.&lt;p&gt;First off it’s really weird to start with a page that links back to the main site and then explains how to navigate the site. If it’s not obvious how to use your nav bar then you’re off to a really bad start. The home page should describe Vulkan and give me enough info to figure out where I need to go next. It should not be a mini tutorial on how to navigate.&lt;p&gt;Further, when I click on Education from the home page for example, it doesn&amp;#x27;t go anywhere (scrolls to the top of the page). When I click on the Vulkan Proposals link, it goes to a one paragraph thing that says it’s a cross link and when I click the link it goes back to the homepage. I’m so confused. I’m using mobile right now maybe it’s not broken on desktop?</text></comment>
