  • napi-rs

    A framework for building compiled Node.js add-ons in Rust via Node-API

    Thanks! This seems pretty official. I do really like what I saw from https://napi.rs/ where you just throw a "#[napi]" macro on and it works. Do you know if there's a Node API equivalent C/C++ workflow or tool that does something similar? I think the https://github.com/nodejs/webidl-napi is kinda what I'm looking for but it's archived.

  • nativefiledialog-extended

    Cross platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) native file dialog library with C and C++ bindings, based on mlabbe/nativefiledialog.

    I'd be interested in creating some kind of native binding package for this C library: https://github.com/btzy/nativefiledialog-extended (which also has existing bindings for Rust here https://github.com/btzy/nfde-rs)
