There’s actually also:

which I don’t find likely your (or rather, the wrapped) code supports. It might sometimes be helpful.

There is a similar (Rust) library, that actually does (too) support WebGL2: [GitHub - parasyte/pixels: A tiny hardware-accelerated pixel frame buffer. 🦀](https://github.com/parasyte/pixels)

in case somebody wants to wrap it (or if it make sense to make MiniFB.jl wrapp it (instead).

@johnh, It’s possible to run firefox --headless  
seemingly for a framebuffer, while the help states “Run without a GUI”. It’s not too helpful to know Pluto.jl could work in a framebuffer that way, since your point was to get rid of the browser…
