Is there no simple GUI library for pure C?

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.

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.

Where to start with developing cross platform apps?
There are various choices but the one I would recommend for a simple program is WxWidgets which is a W/M/L kit. Another one is FLTK. Another popular choice that is more complex, but allows you to do more as well, is Qt which has support for Android and iOS.

Longing for Lean GUI Frameworks (C/C++)
I know also FLTK and Azul; further, I've looked at TUIs like ncurses, notcurses, and Turbo Vision.

What is the fastest and easiest way to do GUI?
With 2.5 days you probably don't want anything that requires much setup, so Qt is probably a non-starter. You could try this one: https://github.com/wjakob/nanogui, the examples are not the platonic ideal of modern C++ programming, but that also means you don't need much mastery of the language to hammer a program until it has a GUI.

Ask HN: What was better in the golden age of tech (a.k.a. the grumpy thread)
I've dipped my toes into GUI development just enough to know you can have "simple," or you can have "native," but not both. There are smaller projects like nanogui[0] and microgui[1] out there, but of course they're only as small as they are because they don't use native widgets.

Nuklear: A cross-platform GUI library in C
Wondering if this was inspired by Wenzel Jakob's nanogui [0] by any chance. (cz that's what I wanted to do, rewrite nanogui in C, so I don't have to rely on a C++ compiler).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing FLTK and NanoGUI you can also consider the following projects:
