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.

How do I make a GUI?
If you want to start with a smaller GUI lib (instead of the bigger ones), you could use Nana (C++ Library), see also User Works using Nana - it uses modern C++11/14/17 (instead of older C++ like wxWidgets or the external macro processor tool MOC used by Qt).

Is there any MIT/BSD licensed UI framework for C++ ?

Best GUI Library for C++?
well, nana seems to still be developed, but it's in another branch for now: https://github.com/cnjinhao/nana/tree/develop-1.8

Is there a C++ GUI library that works on all platforms
I’ve seen people use https://github.com/cnjinhao/nana, but the other suggestions are probably better.
- Qt alternatives

Open Source GUI programs in C++
I would suggest https://github.com/cnjinhao/nana . There is also https://github.com/andlabs/libui, although that is C (not C++).

Modern UI in C++ on Linux
I especially appreciate its one string layout method nana::form::div(), see https://github.com/cnjinhao/nana/wiki/Div-Text
What are some alternatives?
