• marko-editor

  3 60 0.0 Rust

  Marko Editor is a simple WYSIWYG editor for note taking.

Recently I'm learning Rust and use GTK4 for UI (here are my efforts: https://github.com/mmMike/marko-editor), and enjoying this much more.

GTK4 is still very good and Rust is a pleasure to use compared to C++.

• nuklear

  62 8,515 8.3 C

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

  

This list is a bit confusing because it conflates distributions and frameworks and, on top of that, it completely ignores a plethora of cross-platform GUI frameworks like Nuklear or tcl/tk.

• Steam-Metadata-Editor

  40 155 6.4 Python

  An easy to use GUI that edits the metadata of your Steam Apps

Meh, you can style it to make it look decent. Here's one I made using it, doesn't look that bad.
