Before being able to render anything on screen, we need to ask the Operating System (OS) to hand us some place where to draw things, something commonly known as a **window**.

The process to open a window **depends a lot on the OS**, so we use a little library called [GLFW](https://www.glfw.org/) which unifies the different window management APIs and enables our code to be **agnostic** in the OS.

```{note}
I try to use as few libraries as I can, but this one is required to **make our code cross-platform**, which feels even more important to me than writing code from scratch. GLFW is furthermore **a very common choice** and quite minimal in its design.
