Why not write or port an existing graphics toolkit?
Perhaps port
https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/smgui to your framebuffer?
If you want something more windowey, you could port
http://microwindows.org/.
Personally, I just implemented a simple text terminal display output, which together with keyboard input, forms the basis of a simple TTY to use as a console. At the least, you want to implement a simple font renderer, so your kernel can output debug information to the display if required.
