    You might want to look at github.com/visualfc/atk. Tk is a toolkit traditionally considered unsexy but it is 1) rock solid 2) cross platform, while using native Win32 API to render its widgets.

    I think interp layer of atk is a good entry point for minimal API. Then you can reuse higher level API of atk and check by demo.

    For creating simple desktop apps for (mostly) my own use, the ones I found working best for me where two binding to existing ui toolkits: - Tk: https://github.com/visualfc/atk - and a small custom wrapper around fltk I've written Both have some issues, but e.g. fyne and some of the immediate mode ui's I've looked at where lacking some features, and I couldn't build therecipe/qt (I don't event know if it's still maintained).
