  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • NGL

    The NCCA Graphics Library

  • If you follow the instructions I give to my students here https://github.com/NCCA/NGL/blob/main/Windows.md up to the vcpkg install. You can then install GLEW via vcpkg and try something like this https://github.com/NCCA/ModernGL/tree/master for your OpenGL demos.

  • GLFW

    A multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, window and input

  • Consider GLFW3 for windowing and GLAD for function loading. I've used this combination myself successfully. Granted, that is "two things" you need, but OTOH it'll work well.

  • ModernGL

    Minimal Modern OpenGL Demos (Version 4.x). (by NCCA)

  • If you follow the instructions I give to my students here https://github.com/NCCA/NGL/blob/main/Windows.md up to the vcpkg install. You can then install GLEW via vcpkg and try something like this https://github.com/NCCA/ModernGL/tree/master for your OpenGL demos.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
