## Renderer Modularization & Metal
![image-metal](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/53421382/214308933-66cd4efb-b5a5-4de3-b4b4-7ed59045a1c3.png)
MapLibre GL Native is being actively developed. Our big goal for 2023 is to modularize the OpenGL renderer and implement a Metal graphics backend (https://developer.apple.com/metal/). This will improve the performance and yield lower power consumption on iOS devices. At the same time, the Metal preparations will help us in the implementation of a Vulkan graphics backend.
Your help in preparing the codebase for the latest graphics backends is more than welcome. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in joining the effort!
