  • oof

    Convenient, high-performance RGB color and position control for console output

  • termtosvg

    Discontinued Record terminal sessions as SVG animations

  • Yes, it's great! I've used [termtosvg](https://github.com/nbedos/termtosvg) a lot in the past, but it seems it's archived now. :(

  • 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.

  • stb

    stb single-file public domain libraries for C/C++

  • Exampes I've seen are the stb single header libraries, as well as tinyobjloader. The necessity to do this is usually written in the comments at the top of the header file:

  • tinyobjloader

    Tiny but powerful single file wavefront obj loader

  • Exampes I've seen are the stb single header libraries, as well as tinyobjloader. The necessity to do this is usually written in the comments at the top of the header file:

  • awesome-hpp

    A curated list of awesome header-only C++ libraries

  • I sampled ten arbitrary projects from https://github.com/p-ranav/awesome-hpp, and not one of them used this pattern. Maybe it's more common in some circles than others?

  • mp-units

    The quantities and units library for C++

  • If we're talking extreme ease of use, it doesn't get simpler than a library that only contains actual header files, no macros required. Here's an example of a library like that. For years, until I encountered this thread, that was my understanding of what a "header-only library" was.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
