3. imgui

   2 372 62,691 9.8 C++

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

   

   For C++ is my personal favorite ImGui

4. Crow

   3 35 3,512 8.5 C++

   A Fast and Easy to use microframework for the web. (by CrowCpp)

   

   I go the other route, I use some http endpoint like crow to serve a JSON api and then write a web front end. This also forces a separation of concerns and then a fantastic layer to use when doing integration/unit testing. Plus, it's properly cross platform (Linux, IOS, Android, OSX, Windows, etc) and still gives you a hatch where you can use a native GUI in the future if you change your mind, with it only needing a HTTP client. Oh, and you get to run your software in headless mode on a server while running the GUI elsewhere!

5. GuiLite

   4 7 7,426 3.4 C++

   ✔️The smallest header-only GUI library(4 KLOC) for all platforms

   How about Nana? or GuiLite?

6. TGUI

   5 4 855 9.3 C++

   Cross-platform modern c++ GUI

   

7. aqtinstall

   6 26 981 9.0 Python

   aqt: Another (unofficial) Qt CLI Installer on multi-platforms

   

   For installing on a docker container it is a far better idea to use Conan or https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall

8. Eto.Forms

   7 19 3,712 8.6 C#

   Cross platform GUI framework for desktop and mobile applications in .NET

   

   You might check out Eto.Forms. I'm using it as a cross-platform GUI for a C++ hobby project and so far I've been pleased with it. Bringing in a C# environment has its own challenges though. There's also .NET MAUI on the horizon, which looks promising. Anyway, C# is a decent solution because via Xamarin you can interop with the native platform since it simply wraps native APIs, allowing for a single language to access them all (Swift/Objective-C on iOS/macOS, Java on Android, etc.)
