Implementing Basic UI in Love2d
I wonder if something like helium that handles click detection but not rendering would still seem like overkill. Definitely beyond your bare metal goals, but might be simpler than trying to customize styling in a UI framework.

How to make ui?
You could use a library like slab (which lets you just add buttons but may not be so straight forward to deeply customize your look) or helium (which facilitates creating a UI system for buttons, but may not be straightforward to use). I use slab for my debug UI and like it, but haven't tried it for nice-looking game UI.

What are some good libraries for UI and other common needs nowadays?
I liked using Slab but I only used it for debug UI and not game UI. I believe it supports invisible buttons so you could draw your own images for stylish UI.
