  • fynedesk

    A full desktop environment for Linux/Unix using Fyne

  • nuklear

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

  • Like all frameworks, which are barebones libraries wrapped in opinionated organization, KDE/QT can be a lot when you need a simple UI.

    I’ve used Nuklear to make simple, portable, UIs: https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear

    Everything has trade offs; I might need to come up with my own way of handling some bit of state, but my projects aren’t big enough to need the software equivalent of a Costco.

  • 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.

    The Serenity Operating System 🐞

  • Have you seen SerenityOS? https://serenityos.org/

    "A graphical Unix-like operating system for desktop computers!

    SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

    Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix.

    This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like."

    Boots in a VM currently, but it has attracted a good community and people are working on getting it booting on hardware. It's been featured on HN several times: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
