+# Gd-Wireportal
+
+This repo contains both a godot project for testing the gdextension
+and the Rust based extension
+
+The extension itself is about bringing XDG Portals and Pipewire
+to Godot, initially just for screencapture.
+
+For now, this extension is Linux only, as both XDG Portals and Pipewire
+only exist on Linux. If both, with their full API, are ever brought to
+Windows or MacOS, I will try to add support for them.
