+### [Triangle from Scratch][tri-scratch]
+
+[Triangle from Scratch][tri-scratch] ([source code][tri-scratch-src])
+is a new tutorial series by [@Lokathor]
+about drawing a triangle without using any outside crates.
+So far there's just one article for opening a window using the Win32 API,
+but more subjects and on more platforms will be added over time.
+From the author:
+
+> The point isn't that we specifically care about drawing the triangle.
+> That's just a goal that's easy to grasp.
+> The point is that we're doing it with no dependencies as a way
+> to get ourselves to learn about low level OS interaction details as we go.
+> That said, the "no crates" rule is for educational purposes only;
+> please feel free to use crates in normal situations.
