Miru #1 — Writing a Wayland Zoomer in C

Welcome to the first episode of the *Miru* development series. In this video, I begin building Miru, a Wayland-native screen magnifier written entirely in C. The goal is to create a lightweight zoom application that integrates cleanly with the Wayland ecosystem without unnecessary dependencies. This episode covers the initial project setup, architecture, and the first steps toward capturing and rendering the screen. Source code: GitHub: https://github.com/Vaishnav-Sabari-Gi...

The audio starts from around 43:00. NOTE 2: My browser is blacked out because I had some sensitive stuff in there (like the bank website), so I blacked it out for privacy
