 it's called iris because it's the structure around what you actually want to display and colorful
 
 there's a `main.rs` that runs a testing window, so can just `cargo run` to see it working
 
 goals, in general order:
-1. does what I want it to (video, text, animations)

 2. very easy to use ignoring ergonomic ref counting
 3. reasonably fast / efficient (a lot faster than electron, save battery life)

 - relative anchor + absolute offset coord system (+ "rest" / leftover during widget layout)
 - single threaded ui & pass context around to make non async usage straightforward (pretty unsure about this)
 - widgets store outside of the actual rendering so they can be moved around and swapped easily (unsure about this but seems to work good for now)

 sizable chance it gets a rewrite once I know everything I need and what seems to work best
