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

    The Open Toolkit library is a fast, low-level C# wrapper for OpenGL, OpenAL & OpenCL. It also includes windowing, mouse, keyboard and joystick input and a robust and fast math library, giving you everything you need to write your own renderer or game engine. OpenTK can be used standalone or inside a GUI on Windows, Linux, Mac.

    take a look at OpenTK

  • Silk.NET

    The high-speed OpenGL, OpenCL, OpenAL, OpenXR, GLFW, SDL, Vulkan, Assimp, WebGPU, and DirectX bindings library your mother warned you about.

    Btw: The most current and supported bindings for such things are: Silk.NET

  • 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.

  • magnum

    Lightweight and modular C++11 graphics middleware for games and data visualization

    If you want to take some of the legwork out of the rendering, the Magnum framework is a pretty thin wrapper that provides some basic abstraction around the graphics API. Haven't used it for Vulkan before, but for GL it's pretty nice. It's C++ though. If you really want all this granular control anyways, why not just write in C++?

  • OpenSceneGraph

    OpenSceneGraph git repository

    Does http://www.openscenegraph.org/ fit?

  • FNA

    FNA - Accuracy-focused XNA4 reimplementation for open platforms

    Does something like fna or monogame fit your list (gamedev frameworks in C#)? Looks like MonoGame.Extended adds scenegraphs.

  • 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.
