  • MIO

    Metal I/O library for Rust.

    • mio (rust), which seems to be an even better cross-platform I/O abstraction than libuv, which is what Node.js's nice abstraction was is built around (libuv).

  • bgfx

    Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.

    • I know I've seen a few key graphics layer abstraction libraries, but I can't recall which ones are best, perhaps (I just saw) bgfx?

  • 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.

  • PixiJS

    The HTML5 Creation Engine: Create beautiful digital content with the fastest, most flexible 2D WebGL renderer.

    • pixi.js, a JavaScript 2D graphics layer abstraction with plugs into the various browser rendering capabilities (DOM, canvas, WebGL).
