  • Looks like squeek502 is working on a ".rc" to ".res" compiler: https://github.com/squeek502/resinator (plan is to upstream it to the Zig compiler at some point: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/3702)

  • zigwin32gen

    Generates Complete Zig bindings for Win32. See https://github.com/marlersoft/zigwin32 for the bindings themselves.

  • I am trying to make a Windows application using https://github.com/marlersoft/zigwin32gen. But it seems there is no way to include Windows resource file. To my knowledge, Windows resource is written in .rc file first then converted to .res using rc.exe. MS linker converts .res file to COFF format and do the linking to build the final .exe.

  • 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.
