Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

What frameworks exist that support both MacOS and Windows?
Another dark horse is FLTK: https://www.fltk.org/. For utilities this might be your best choice, especially because static linking is supported. This is mostly a C++ solution but there are bindings to other solutions.
-
Is there no simple GUI library for pure C?
Fl_Flex (shameless plug!) is now officially in upstream FLTK since 1.4 for a "flexbox style" layout manager.
-
Why is there no good and easy gui library available for C++ for desktop?
Go ahead and sell an FLTK product then. I'm sure you go to https://www.fltk.org/ and think those GUI's look awesome you delusional moron

GUI libraries or frameworks?
A few examples: Dear ImGui, SFML, FLTK. Probably even Tk could be used.
- It's old school

The state of Rust GUI libraries
FLTK (Fast Light Toolkit) is a lightweight, cross-platform supported toolkit for building GUIs. FLTK is supported on Windows, macOS, and UNIX systems and was originally built for C++. If you use the FLTK toolkit to create a GUI application, the application looks the same on all supported operating systems.
- Add the Wayland platform to FLTK 1.4
-
Are there any low-level library options for creating desktop apps?
There are a lot of options and they're not that hard to find... Qt, wxWidgets, FLTK, IUP come immediately to mind.

Looking for a cross-platform solution to my problem
FLTK. It's a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit for UNIX®/Linux® (X11), Microsoft® Windows®, and MacOS® X.

Android predictive back support
I am migrating XF app into MAUI and writing a simple Navigation framework because Prism doesn't work well and I didn't use anything advanced anyway. So, I am surfing the code of MAUI to intercept all the back buttons, etc. I haven't found a single mention of apis related to predictive back "RegisterOnBackInvokedCallback", "OnBackInvokedDispatcher", "OnBackPressedDispatcher", "AddCallback", "android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback" Also I don't see any issue on github that would say "Support Android Predictive back". Only one kinda related https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/8680

.NET 8 – MAUI
Maui is Open Source, MIT License

.NET is Open Source

I do share your skepticism of Microsoft, but it looks like the economics and cash flow dynamics have changed drastically after the advent of the cloud.
Microsoft is more focused on getting developers onto its ecosystem and help them with open source projects with the hope that they will use its Azure cloud services and bring in the money.
My skepticism is a bit relaxed now and I have no qualms using .NET.
I hope I am not wrong.

.NET 8 – .NET Blog
It's a bit of a hit and miss as of today. CLI, back-end and natively compiled libraries (think dll/so/dylib or even .lib/.a - you can statically link NAOT binaries into other "unmanaged" code) work best, GUI - requires more work.
Avalonia[0] and MAUI[1] have known working templates with it, but YMMV.

What's New in Final RC for .NET 8, .NET MAUI, Asp.net Core and EF8
While this is the quite endorsed by the community: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/discussions/339
I think the fundamental issue is that desktop Linux is way too fragmented. Not only just GTK2/3 and Qt but you have GNOME, KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon and then you have X11, Xorg, Wayland...
To be honest, all those craps are why desktop Linux never took off. I'm very safe to say MAUI for Linux will eventually renders components off its own using framebuffer and hardware acceleration APIs such as OpenGL or Vulkan just because of the market fragmentations...
If desktop Linux truly wants to get the attention, it will need to unify. Fixing dependency hell using Flatpak is the right direction.
There is an existing old fork of MAUI for Linux that uses GTK: https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/maui-linux

Every other tab in Shell doesn't show Shell.TitleView on Android
First I came across this Github issue: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/9687 - According to this issue, this is a known bug for MAUI iOS, but it works OK for MAUI Android. As I said, I target Android only and I have the exact same issue. It's apparantly fixed with some of the latest versions for MAUI but the problem still occurs to me even with MAUI version:

Bindable properties issue with Custom controls
I saw this and tried to imitate (ofc my lack of experience wouldn't allow me to do it in the exact way). Already found some documentation that allowed to understand better. Thanks for the insigh.
