    If it's a very simple desktop app (win or linux), maybe you could give a chance to C.R.O.W., it's beta, and I try to keep it very simple (but extensible). You may test several simple tutorials and tell me what documentation you're missing, I'm currently updating the docs.
  • C.R.O.W: C# rapid open widget, an alternative to window, qt and other...
    3 projects | /r/csharp | 30 Oct 2021
    If some peoples are interesting in beta testing of c.r.o.w., I've prepared several small [introductive](https://github.com/jpbruyere/Crow/wiki/Tutorials) tutorials. You may use the [ShowCase](https://github.com/jpbruyere/Crow/tree/master/Samples/ShowCase) in the sample directory to test IML (the ui language of crow) in live. The helloworld sample has a small howto for installation. That's the first time I try to present this lib, be tolerant if you find bugs, it's far from a release version. Any bug report or advice is welcome. If you want to see it integrated in a vulkan 3d application check [vkChess.net](https://github.com/jpbruyere/VkChess.net) (there's a binary win beta release). It's a [stockfish](https://stockfishchess.org/) client. For several simple example integrated with vulkan check [VkCrowWindow library](https://github.com/jpbruyere/VkCrowWindow). Thanks for any returns, even critics ;-)
