hikogui VS nanogui

See my own implementation: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/src/hikogui/concurrency/unfair_mutex.hpp

Yes, it is an open source project for a cross platform retained GUI library with a modern c++20 API. https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui

With some growing pains on configuring CMake, I was able to converted a single header file in my project github.com/hikogui/hikogui/ to a module interface file, but it hit an ICE immediately. Of course I reported it, including a crash dump, and a project-branch.

Look at all the pipeline_SDF source files at https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/tree/main/src/hikogui/GFX

Here is the fragment shader: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/shaders/pipeline_SDF.frag

Here is the tool to create de-duplicated table and index table from the unicode database: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/tools/generate_unicode_data.py

Thank you for mentioning HikoGUI.

On windows, you can even use just-in-time-debugging (enabled with registry key), which brings up a dialogue when the application crashes to select a debugger to attach to the "crashed" application. But for this to work correctly you need to do some fanzy things. See: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/src/hikogui/debugger.hpp and https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/src/hikogui/debugger_win32.cpp

I've been using nanogui[0] to fit the bill for personal uses.

To be honest though, I'm at the point where I'd really prefer an easy and lightweight library to setup a http and/or websocket server, and just make a ui in the browser. I've got a simple use case -- I'm just making a simple scene editor & debugging ui for a toy ray tracer.

I know there are a ton of different libraries out there for the task, but that just makes it hard to evaluate the quality of any given library. I haven't given any a shot, I've only gone so far as to look at them and ponder what the size of the user base is, and question if the project will go inactive in a couple years. Or if it's going to require me to pull in some other host of dependencies.

Recommendations from HNers welcome!
