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.
I used it as a basis for my own "learn C" project - https://github.com/Zireael07/dark. The project got abandoned because I ran into weird memory issues, but at its core there is no engine, and the font is just a tilesheet so you could just take an actual spritesheet instead of one that has the font...
I've done this a couple of times. I think FLTK or SDL2 are your best options for lightweight "do it yourself" rendering. I've mostly used the former, but I'm not sure that it's best.
