Beside SDL, is there an easier way to just show a custom rectangle with text, cross-platform?
I would recommend C bindings for the Dear ImGui (https://github.com/cimgui/cimgui)

ImGui or text rendering libraries
For GUI, there are lots, most well-known of course being Dear Imgui, for which people have made auto-generated C bindings. Another mature but a lot simpler option is Nuklear, as others have mentioned. Even more minimalistic (it's just 1KLOC) is microui. There are a lot more, just google "imgui library c".

Nuklear – A single-header ANSI C immediate mode cross-platform GUI library
DearIMGUI has both an unofficial C wrapper and a new official C binding generator. I have personally used the CIMGUI wrapper with C99 apps using the Direct3D11 backend and it works great. The new API is started by the DearIMGUI creator but is still adding features that are available in CIMGUI.

Create a Window in C/Where to Begin
I would give ImGui a look, it is technically a c++ api, but there is a plain c version https://github.com/cimgui/cimgui/tree/docking_inter which is a free cross platform gui toolset
-
Imgui Zig bindings(based on ZGui)
Whilst this is great. I have a (slightly dumb) question -What advantage does using these bindings give us over just using the generated C IMGUI bindings (cimgui) directly in Zig??Especially given the fact that that the latter are autogenerated from the original C++ IMGUI.
