Top 23 C++ GUI Projects
-
Yes, you can handle front end with C++. For desktop applications I'd recommend Qt, or maybe Dear ImGUI. Less sure about webdev, though TreeFrog is intriguing.
-
Cool! I've seen similar ideas before and made my own inspired by these some years ago. It's a simple bash script based on [flameshot](https://flameshot.org/) for taking the screenshot and Tesseract:
#!/usr/bin/env bash -
InfluxDB
Build time-series-based applications quickly and at scale.. InfluxDB is the Time Series Data Platform where developers build real-time applications for analytics, IoT and cloud-native services in less time with less code.

DearPyGui
Dear PyGui: A fast and powerful Graphical User Interface Toolkit for Python with minimal dependencies
Here are some ideas.
-
Project mention: Laptop constantly at 75% Memory Usage, even when idle. | reddit.com/r/linuxmint | 2022-09-16
I'd recommend Stacer has a lot of nice features including including a sort of 'Task Manager' htop is also nice if your comfortable with using terminal
-
nodegui
A library for building cross-platform native desktop applications with Node.js and CSS 🚀. React NodeGui : https://react.nodegui.org and Vue NodeGui: https://vue.nodegui.org
Project mention: [Hiring] Create UI to Accept User Input using NodeGui to create a Native Desktop Application | reddit.com/r/forhire | 2022-04-29Use NodeGui (or some equivalent tool) for this. Source: https://docs.nodegui.org/ This is needed because this entire project will run natively, by that I mean it will run with no browser, no local host and it no internet connection.

Project mention: CD PROJEKT RED announce The Witcher Remake in Unreal Engine 5 | reddit.com/r/linux_gaming | 2022-10-26
There's also Open3D (O3D) the point cloud library... http://www.open3d.org/

Project mention: Does anyone have feedback on working with GuiLite? | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2022-04-08
-
Windows UI Library
Windows UI Library: the latest Windows 10 native controls and Fluent styles for your applications
-
Nitpick: Zoom isn't Electron-based on any platform AFAIK. On Linux it uses Qt. On Windows it uses its own fork of DuiLib [1]. I don't know about Mac.

Also consider https://www.wxwidgets.org/

Project mention: What is the fastest and easiest way to do GUI? | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2022-06-30
With 2.5 days you probably don't want anything that requires much setup, so Qt is probably a non-starter. You could try this one: https://github.com/wjakob/nanogui, the examples are not the platonic ideal of modern C++ programming, but that also means you don't need much mastery of the language to hammer a program until it has a GUI.
-
FTXUI
Features: - Functional style. Inspired by [1] and React - Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion). - Support for UTF8 and fullwidth chars (→ 测试). - No dependencies. - Cross platform. Linux/mac (main target), Windows (experimental thanks to contributors), - WebAssembly. - Keyboard & mouse navigation. Operating systems: - linux emscripten - linux gcc - linux clang - windows msvc - mac clang
On the C++ front, I've been using this and love it - https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/FTXUI - it also has wasm target, so may target the web.
I'm regular Far Commander on Windows, and Midnight Commander, also known as mc on Linux/OSX. In fact my "Command-Prompt" on Windows is always FAR (this comes with certain limitations, but I'm so used to it, I can't do my normal work without it). I could never get into the Explorer, and only use it in rare cases.

Ricochet seems dead. It's been five years since its last commit to their git repo, and their website's certificate expired last year. This is probably why you can't find much information.

-
If I'm already using ImGui in a program then I find ImPlot is great.
-
-
It's a complex domain. The closest we have at the moment is Elements which hasn't been proposed for Boost (yet?) but is by Joel de Guzman, the primary author of Boost.Spirit.
-
GacUI
GPU Accelerated C++ User Interface, with WYSIWYG developing tools, XML supports, built-in data binding and MVVM features.
Project mention: Is there any MIT/BSD licensed UI framework for C++ ? | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2022-05-21You can try https://github.com/vczh-libraries/GacUI . It uses XML descripted UIs, which you may be familiar with as a C# developer.
-
If you want to start with a smaller GUI lib (instead of the bigger ones), you could use Nana (C++ Library), see also User Works using Nana - it uses modern C++11/14/17 (instead of older C++ like wxWidgets or the external macro processor tool MOC used by Qt).
-
Project mention: A GTK4 Firefox with Libwaita is the next step into the right direction (Please click on the link and upvote my proposal). | reddit.com/r/gnome | 2022-08-22
What are you talking about? Qt has GTK theme support built-in: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/tree/dev/src/plugins/platformthemes/gtk3
-
Have a look at wxFormBuilder

Project mention: Is there any MIT/BSD licensed UI framework for C++ ? | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2022-05-21
I haven't actually used either one, but there's HikoGUI (previously known as TTauri) under the Boost license and RmlUI under MIT. Not sure if they're very OS-integrated in the way you want or not.
