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.

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.

GUI libraries or frameworks?
A few examples: Dear ImGui, SFML, FLTK. Probably even Tk could be used.

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.

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.
-
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.

Brig: A user interface toolkit for Node.js, which is based on Qt for rendering
This looks like it hasn't been maintained in years but there's a modern equivalent in NodeGUI [1] which also has React/Svelte/Vue implementations. Unfortunately it requires a custom build of Node that merges the libuv and Qt6 event loops so YMMV.
It actually inspired me to write my own implementation with Svelte on top of QuickJS and Qt Widgets but the task of wrapping the entire Qt6 API in Rust proved to be intractable once I found out that most methods weren't marked Q_INVOKABLE and thus couldn't be called via reflection (requiring manual wrapping). Providing a `Document.createElement` API that created Qt Widgets with working attributes and event handling worked surprisingly well though!

Does anybody have trouble running NodeGui projects? Does 'nodegui-starter' repo work for you?
1: Can't run with the repo 'nodegui-starter' #972
Hi, so this NodeGui library for building apps with native components is something I really want to get into, but, it does not work for me.. so I am starting this thread to check with yous (I depleted google results) if any one of you have tips or workarounds I can use. I wish to build a desktop app, but I really do not want to bundle a web browser for that purpose and NodeGui seems perfect.

Electron Adventures: Episode 75: NodeGui React
Let's continue exploring Electron alternatives. This time, NodeGui. NodeGui uses Qt5 instead of Chromium, so we'll be leaving the familiar web development behind, but it tries to not be too far from it, as web development is what everyone knows.

Are we GUI Yet? The state of building user interfaces in Rust
(Disclaimer: My knowledge of Rust very limited, but I have quite a bit of experience with getting Qt/KDE classes to work with other languages.)
You are absolutely right. The effort to be acceptable bindings for Qt would be a tiny fraction of the cost compared to building a whole new Rust native GUI library.
Qt is huge set of libraries with an equally huge API. But there are a lot of shortcuts and smart ways of approaching the problem to get what you want out of Qt for minimum effort.
Bindings like PyQt and even PySide go for the nuclear option of generating bindings for the whole Qt API and trying to match the C++ API in style too. This is an absolutely massive huge task. Also, getting people to contribute to an open source bindings project is hard. Getting people to contribute to a bindings generator is even harder.
NodeGui https://github.com/nodegui/nodegui, Qt bindings for Nodejs, on the other hand takes a very different approach which in one way is low-tech but I think is actually very smart. I'll summerise the differences:
* It focuses on Qt Widgets first. This greatly reduces the amount of work to the parts that people actually need. (BTW, if you just want QML and Rust back-end then Jos van den Oever's work at https://invent.kde.org/sdk/rust-qt-binding-generator has probably got you covered already.)

How about porting to Nodegui which is javascript qt and might allow reusing all the non-ui bits?
I'd probably start by looking at Nodegui which is a qt based gui on top of node so much if the javascript code could be reused.
