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

  • I'm also using Dear ImGui and definitely recommend it. It's under active development and continues to improve regularly. Writing immediate mode GUI code takes a little getting used to if you're coming from other backgrounds, but it's very easy to use once you get going with it. If you ever get stuck or need to figure out how to use a particular widget, check out the imgui demo code, it's got tons of examples of how to do stuff.

  • ezEngine

    An open source C++ game engine.

  • We use Dear ImGui for debug stuff etc. in ezEngine (on GitHub: https://github.com/ezengine/ezengine) and have a RmlUI (https://github.com/mikke89/RmlUi) Plugin for the more game style UI use cases. RmlUI gives you something HTML like without integrating a full browser engine into your game engine :)

  • 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.
