Why you use Vulkan instead of ImDrawList ?

Hi, I'm new to ImGui and GP but I want to build the things like you, I'm just wonder why you use Vulkan instead if ImDrawList to render the Canvas? Is it because you want to custom things or the performance reason. Thank you for your works.

Hey

Actually this project was primarily for me learning stuff including Gpu and graphics libraires like opengl and vulkan that is why I am drifting between multiple architectures and practices. And not using single library as a final thing.

For why not using only ImGuis draw list, that is because it will create a very high dependency on Imgui, right now I have kept lot of things decoupled. So in future if I want to shift to my own ui system or some other retained mode ui library, it will be very easy. It will be like switching blocks.
And using Gpu libraires give more support than just rendering graphics.

I hope it helps.
