I have implemented shader hot-reloading as well as a GLSL text editor in my custom game engine using an OpenGL renderer. One more step closer to ShaderToy.
Cheers! I am using Dear ImGui as the low-level GUI library.

OpenGL/Metal/Vulkan: How would I go about creating a GUI?
Then you'll basically have to do it yourself or use some form of middleware. Dear Imgui is nice for quick prototyping, and also for the general understanding of how game UIs can be built.

OpenGL 3.2 segfault on MacOS 10.15 when calling glDrawElements
A cursory google shows that other people are reporting similar issues. A comment on the second link recommends trying to force the apple driver into using 4.1 core instead of 3.x as apparently it's an entirely different code path.

Hello I’m new to C and i know some basic concepts.
I would suggest https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear. Works cross platform on Windows, Mac and Linux, AFAIK.

FyneDesk, a fresh look at what it means to be a desktop environment
Like all frameworks, which are barebones libraries wrapped in opinionated organization, KDE/QT can be a lot when you need a simple UI.
I’ve used Nuklear to make simple, portable, UIs: https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear
Everything has trade offs; I might need to come up with my own way of handling some bit of state, but my projects aren’t big enough to need the software equivalent of a Costco.

Is there SDL2 ready to use dialogs/controls?
A similar option also worth looking into is Nuklear. It is written in our beloved C (without the ++) and has an excellent documentation. https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear
