+# Emgui – An Experimental, Modularized immediate mode Graphical User Interface
+
+Here are the steps, in chronological order of execution:
+
+CODE: Input bindings, i.e. gathering GuiInput data from the system (web browser, Mac Window, iPhone App, ...)
+DATA: GuiInput: mouse and keyboard state + window size
+DATA: GuiSizes: this is a configuration of the ImLayout system, sets sizes of e.g. a slider.
+CODE: ImLayout: Immediate mode layout Gui elements. THIS IS WHAT YOUR APP CODE CALLS!
+DATA: GuiPaint: High-level commands to render e.g. a checked box with a hover-effect at a certain position.
+DATA: GuiStyle: The colors/shading of the gui.
+CODE: GuiPainter: Renders GuiPaint + GuiStyle into DrawCommands
+DATA: PaintCommands: low-level commands (e.g. "Draw a rectangle with this color here")
+CODE: Painter: paints the the PaintCommands to the screen (HTML canvas, OpenGL, ...)
+
+This is similar to Dear ImGui but separates the layout from the rendering, and adds another step to the rendering.
+
+# Implementation
+
+Input is gathered in TypeScript.
+PaintCommands rendered to a HTML canvas.
+Everything else is written in Rust, compiled to WASM.
