Uniform is a cross-platform UI toolkit written in C that renders via Metal, WebGPU, and planned Vulkan, offering pixel-perfect layout and custom design control. It combines SDF-based shapes, continuous curves, and a low-latency input system with JavaScript and C APIs for rapid iteration. The project is ambitious and technically sophisticated but currently in preview with limited platform support.

Target audience: native and web app developers, designers seeking pixel-perfect control
