imgui VS nuklear

Currently, I have narrowed potential libraries to: 1. Flutter 2. FLTK 3. Relm (GTK) 4. iced 5. Slint 6. Imgui, Imgui-rs 7. and gtk-rs

Imgui, Imgui-rs

Dear ImGui easy to use and understand immediate mode is simple to understand and fits games with a render loop Small file size Con: Doesn't look like your native OS widgets

- X Toolkit Intrinsics Reference Manual

However they have very little to do with how modern operating systems (Windows, MacOS) deal with that stuff.

As for toys, I'd recommend reading about Dear ImGui [1]. It handles everything you mentioned while being self-contained so you can see how everything works from top to bottom. Many talks and articles have been written about it though I can't vouch for any of them.

ImGUI (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) probably as simple as it can get

One simple, rather unimportant GUI library is this one, and even they claim a pretty long user list

Dear ImGui and SFGUI are options.

Raylib was created primarily for game development. If all you need is a minimal graphics library for drawing ui, then I would check out Nuklear or IMGUI Raylib will not help all that much with writing code to interface with the arduino and calculate the map.

very surprised nobody mentioned Nuklear here: https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear

Hello HN. I made this Windows desktop app that allows using voice activation with games or apps that only support push-to-talk.

The initial version was written years ago, without any UI or configuration options. It was just for my personal use. I had told a few friends about it, though, and then one of them asked if he could get a copy to use with Discord priority speaker, since for years, it has only worked with push-to-talk. So I spent some time making a more user-friendly version.

It's written almost exclusively in C and uses Nuklear [1] for the UI. It has an auto updater. The releases are hashed with BLAKE3 and signed with ECC.

I also recently made an open source USB device [2] that the app can use to send input from a "real" keyboard because, it turns out, there are some games (CSGO) that ignore simulated input for activating the microphone.

I'm having some trouble finding users though. I've tried posting on a few Discord servers and subreddits for games whose players I suspect would find the app useful but self-promotion and advertising are generally not allowed in these communities, so my posts get removed quite quickly. Any tips on how to best reach my audience?

Otherwise a pure OpenGL solution works. You want consider wrapping something like: https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear

Just in case what you're looking for is windowing and a UI inside your OpenGL context Nuklear is basically the,only on I know of that isn't C++

Good C library list: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/links/libs https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear + C89, no dependencies, public license. 5/5 https://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/ + good tutorial and wiki guides 5/5 https://libsdl.org/ + infinite possibilities - whole library for making games, forums, wiki - complicated, not many C tutorials, need to manage game states... 4/5 https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl + good docs - for embedded systems 4/5 https://github.com/ocornut/imgui + Popular, inspired Nuklear - for C++ 3/5 https://docs.enlightenment.org/api/imlib2/html/ + very efficient, used in Conky - uses X so only for Linux, just for displaying images and text and stuff 2/5 https://github.com/rxi/microui + simple, small - you need to handle your own drawing 2/5 GTK+ - no
