Looking for projects to contribute to
Tangentially, I just listened to an old cppcast about https://www.copperspice.com/, a QT fork with ambitions of being more c++-ey.

Worries about QT
There was already a fork of Qt 4. It is tootling along fine: https://www.copperspice.com/

Missing features in modern C++
BTW, CopperSpice sounds pretty close to what you're mentioning: https://www.copperspice.com

Using sigslot as replacement of Qt signals/slots
If you already have a lot of use of Qt your might find CopperSpice to be a reasonable compromisehttps://www.copperspice.com/

15 year .NET vet moving to Linux and C++ and Qt
exactly I'm quite happy to have my code written for me. If you don't like the moc you can use CopperSpice https://www.copperspice.com/

GUI for software, not games, but lighter than Qt ?

New 3.1.6 release of wxWidgets, free and open source library for creating portable native GUI applications, adding transparent support for high DPI artwork and much more, is now available.
CopperSpice might be worth looking at too. Coming from Qt you're probably going to like it better than wxWidgets.

Qt Creator 6 released
So I strongly dislike Qt. It's got a predatory vision for open source enforcement where they mislead their customers with spoopy language and make it harder and harder to download. In addition, they continue to insist on an architecture that's not even actually C++ (it's got a different grammar) despite it being completely possible to architect a better version of their designs in standard C++.

making a qt fork
See copperspice project. Originally forked to work around short coming of Meta-Object Compilation.

Digital Audio Workstation Front End Development Struggles
There's a relatively new C++ GUI library literally called "Elements". Not sure how it works though, but the way it looks, and the music background of its creator makes it appear designed for DAWs.

Introducing Slint 1.0 - The Next-Generation GUI Toolkit with C++20 APIs
Further, if you we want a "modern" C++ GUI framework what actually would be modern would be to use mechanisms in the language itself as a quasi-DSL from within the language. This is something like what Joel de Guzman is doing with Elements
- Can I include cycfi/elements with CMake in any project or must I build up on example projects?
-
Boost.URL ACCEPTED, get the beta now!
It's a complex domain. The closest we have at the moment is Elements which hasn't been proposed for Boost (yet?) but is by Joel de Guzman, the primary author of Boost.Spirit.

Is there any MIT/BSD licensed UI framework for C++ ?
I ended up with elements gui https://github.com/cycfi/elements

GUI for software, not games, but lighter than Qt ?
If you don't want to use Qt I honestly think your best bet may be to become an early adopter of cycfi elements depending on your project. Elements is still rough but is useable for small applications. I think when it is finished it will be the best choice for a retained mode GUI library, but right now it is missing a lot of things (e.g. the standard common dialogs, "open", "Save as", etc.) , and has basically zero documentation.

What are you using for GUIs?

Why I choose Electron even when I wanted to use QT
For the past year we were evaluating EFL, QML and Flutter for our embedded TV devices after having used the first two for last 5+ years and choice was made to go with Flutter. Performance is great, license is great, and development experience, judged by the whole development team, is the best. Hence my remark on being sad as QML could have had a great future, even transitioned to modern C++ without need for separate language, if there was a huge adoption and proper choices made by the company, e.g. see https://github.com/cycfi/elements.
What are some alternatives?
wxWidgets - Cross-Platform C++ GUI Library
imgui - Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
WTF - Windows Template Framework
lvgl - Embedded graphics library to create beautiful UIs for any MCU, MPU and display type.
nana - a modern C++ GUI library
Turbo Vision - A modern port of Turbo Vision 2.0, the classical framework for text-based user interfaces. Now cross-platform and with Unicode support.
GTK+ - Read-only mirror of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk
libui - Simple and portable (but not inflexible) GUI library in C that uses the native GUI technologies of each platform it supports.
