bgfx
Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.
Project mention: Is it a crazy idea to create a 3D operating system? | reddit.com/r/osdev | 2023-05-21Another route could be using an abstraction over Vulkan (faster, more efficient, more difficult): bgfx, dawn, magma, or wgpu (Rust).

Project mention: Fun with real-time manipulation of glsl (shader) files | reddit.com/r/proceduralgeneration | 2022-07-02
I'm not an expert on glsl/shaders etc. but rather understand how to use Python to read values from hardware (ADC) and convert it to OSC, which, in turn, is passed on to glslViewer (https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/glslViewer) ... it is glslViewer that does all the hard work of hot reloading .frag files as new uniform values are received.
-
WebGui
An example demo of IMGUI (Immediate Mode GUI) on the web. Using only WebGL, GLFW and ImGui. Suitable for being compiled to web assembly (WASM).
You mean like this?
-
ImPlay.

Project mention: CMake fails to build OpenGL project due to missing targets OpenGL and GLX whereas reference project does not have the same problem. | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2022-10-10
The main GLEW repository from how I currently understand it is not designed to be used as a subdirectory. So I found a skeleton project that I went off of and it links to an alternative glew repository that includes source files, although it hasn't been updated in a while. I was able to do this succesfully before by roughly following along with what the skeleton project does. In fact I made a repository that worked at one point. However a new problem has showed up. It could have come up with an update from once of the dependencies or maybe it's because I had reinstalled Ubuntu between now and then.

InfluxDB
Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

borealis
Hardware accelerated, controller and TV oriented UI library for PC and Nintendo Switch (libnx)

If you reuse the same index buffer as proposed then you won't be able to share vertices, which can be an important optimization. In my case I use a 323 cache of vert indices and just insert an index rather than a vertex if the vertex already exists and has the same material. I generate normals in the pixel shader to increase what can be shared, and then use a variant of Stan Melax's edge collapse polygon reduction algorithm to combine edges and reduce triangle count.

Project mention: Best practices for managing global state? | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2023-04-30
You might also want to consider using glfwpp, which is a C++ wrapper around glfw. It wraps the glfw callbacks with std::fuction, so you can pass function objects or lambdas with captures without thinking about managing the single global user pointer.
