Nicely built resource, found a couple of nits but pretty good starting point.

Although I feel like unless you need to specifically target web or extensive cross platform support, a better alternative for a higher level framework/library is nvrhi. Especially for C++ developers.

And I feel like if you are making for cross platform or web you are likely using Rust or writing your own game engine/library maybe I view of the ecosystem is skewed.

I maybe be a complete moron not familiar with Github, but I wanted to have a look at the code and it took me solid 5 minutes of going through the website searching for a link to the repository, and the only one I eventually found was when I scrolled to the bottom and clicked the Github icon. Removing the path from https://eliemichel.github.io/LearnWebGPU/index.html leads to 404, no idea why that doesn't just lead to https://github.com/eliemichel. Don't know if it's just me, but I get unreasonably frustrated by things like this.

Pretty sure it's because GitHub allows the user to put content at the root of that URL. And it's an entirely separate domain to avoid cookie stealing or whatever.
