Technologies

This project is built using React and TypeScript, utilizing create-react-app as a foundation.

This project uses WebGPU for parallel computation of hands, which is a cornerstone of the application's performance capabilities. This is new, experimental web technology, and is unfortunately not supported on mobile yet. However it works natively with Windows/Mac Chrome 113+. Check if your favorite desktop browser requires a flag: caniuse webgpu?
