    libRocket - The HTML/CSS User Interface library

    I've found libRocket to be a great UI library paired with SDL2 and OpenGL. It allows you to use a subset of html and css to design your UI, while handing rendering off to the renderer of your choice. This gives you the flexibility to add advanced visual effects during the rendering step.

  • RmlUi

    RmlUi - The HTML/CSS User Interface library evolved

    There's also RmlUi, which is an up-to-date fork of libRocket.

  • 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.

  • MyGUI

    Fast, flexible and simple GUI.

    Openmw uses http://mygui.info for their UI. I remember using it with SDL years ago. Honestly though, c++ isn't worth the hassle in my own opinion.

  • libGDX

    Desktop/Android/HTML5/iOS Java game development framework
