  • imgui

    Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies

    • We use a lot of software used by big companies. :) Git and C++ come to mind. But as far I see on their software list there are one or two roguelikes. Also, bgfx uses ImGUI under the hood, so it is a good place to see how it can look or even use it instead of just ImGUI.

  • nuklear

    A single-header ANSI C immediate mode cross-platform GUI library (by Immediate-Mode-UI)

    • What about https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear ?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
