 It's currently designed around using retained data structures (widgets), rather than diffing generated trees from data like xilem or iced. This is an experiment and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
 
-There's a `main.rs` that runs a testing window, so you can just `cargo run` to see it working.
+Examples are in `examples`, eg. `cargo run --example tabs`.
 
 Goals, in general order:
 1. does what I want it to (text, images, video, animations)
 2. very easy to use ignoring ergonomic ref counting
-3. reasonably fast / efficient (a lot faster than electron, save battery life)
