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.

Immediate Mode GUI Programming
There is also microui, which I like[0].
Which I forked to work with SDL2[1], no guarantees. It's fun to hack on.

What should I use to make GUI with SDL
Otherwise, https://github.com/rxi/microui is small enough that you can hack around. Look at the issue though, there's a bit of unaligned access there.

ImGui or text rendering libraries
For GUI, there are lots, most well-known of course being Dear Imgui, for which people have made auto-generated C bindings. Another mature but a lot simpler option is Nuklear, as others have mentioned. Even more minimalistic (it's just 1KLOC) is microui. There are a lot more, just google "imgui library c".
- A lightweight, simple, fast, feature-filled, text editor written in C, and Lua

Nuklear – A single-header ANSI C immediate mode cross-platform GUI library
The price for the 'lightest' UI toolkit probably goes to microui:
https://github.com/rxi/microui
Just around 1100 lines of C code.
You need to bring your own renderer, but that's the same for Nuklear or Dear ImGui.
I wrote a WASM wrapper for the microui demo too:

I made a shortlist of good libraries for my GUI C project and I want your thoughts and comments.
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

I haven't been using Linux that much yet, but because of my experience with Xfce, and because others don't seem to enjoy desktop environments on Linux too much, I want to create my own.
Really? Here's a minimal UI with I believe less LOC than Suckless DWM. It's not a full DE, but I imagine you could probably turn it into one without adding that much more code.

Any ideas why my gl es2 animation is blurry/ghosted? Looks the same if rotation is done in shader or done by directly modifying with vertex attrib pointer. Using egl wayland and gles2
You could try running the samples from the NXP demo framework to see if they show the same behavior. I expect the GLES2.S06_Texturing sample would be easy to see it on.
