  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Avalonia

    Develop Desktop, Embedded, Mobile and WebAssembly apps with C# and XAML. The most popular .NET Foundation community project.

  • You could use .NET 5.0 and Avalonia as GUI framework. If you search on nuget.org you will also find several packages for cross platform USB access.

  • DearPyGui

    Dear PyGui: A fast and powerful Graphical User Interface Toolkit for Python with minimal dependencies

  • Other than wanting an open source license and a cross platform solution, you haven't specified any requirements for the GUI framework. Not knowing other requirements, I would recommend Dear PyGui if you want to use Python. Dear PyGui has a permissive MIT license, is written in C/C++ and uses the GPU for speed. It's great for (real-time) scientific applications.

  • 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.
