Project mention: Blazor United - When it ships it would be the most glorious way to do web with .NET | reddit.com/r/programming | 2023-01-25
Aside from Blazor there's already some other projects like Yew (rust), seed (rust), asm-dom (C++) and vugu (Go) and more that have decent followings and activity. A lot more (especially managed languages) are waiting for some features to come online like wasm GC and host bindings (direct wasm access to browser apis which includes the DOM). It'll take a bit of time, but it'll get there eventually.
-
appsmith
Low code project to build admin panels, internal tools, and dashboards. Integrates with 15+ databases and any API.
Project mention: How realistic is a programming job if you didn't go to into higher education? | reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions | 2023-01-26What I never realized before starting was that a lot of Open Source projects have docs on how to start, including how to set up the environment. For example on this one they have a section in their readme just for contributors with links to each step and examples of good first issues :)

If OP is using python that might be the output of python's tqdm.

awesome-python-applications
💿 Free software that works great, and also happens to be open-source Python.
This list might help: https://github.com/mahmoud/awesome-python-applications
-
Project mention: Game Server Development: How do you structure game state for easy, efficient, and configurable access? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2023-01-14
In a "local" environment, where an executable can be provided to someone with the entire game contents. In this case, the game won't use WebSockets, and will instead use a Go/JS bridge (something like Wails) to connect.
-
Project mention: Wrapping / overflow /reorder listview items according to window size? | reddit.com/r/csharp | 2023-01-21
Material Design In XAML Toolkit - better looking controls and stuff.
-
Project mention: Can't decide on a programming language for multiple reasons | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2023-01-23
If you don’t mind just drawing into a rectangle (without native UI components), more options open up. There’s plenty of Rust libraries for just drawing into a buffer. Like https://github.com/emilk/egui, which does provide UI components, just not native one.

Thanks, then it's probably easier to just download the Appimage from http://cutter.re and simply keep it up-to-date.

lvgl
Embedded graphics library to create beautiful UIs for any MCU, MPU and display type. It's boosted by a professional yet affordable drag and drop UI editor, called SquareLine Studio.
ImGUI is great, but i wouldn't call it "versatile", it's too rigid to be versatile
It's too focused on desktop (mouse/kb), and you can't really theme it other than its colors and shape of the edges
Creating custom controls is a ton of work
Then you have libraries like this: https://lvgl.io/ (gh: https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl)
That's what i call a versatile GUI library

PySimpleGUI
Launched in 2018. It's 2023 and PySimpleGUI is actively developed & supported. Create complex windows simply. Supports tkinter, Qt, WxPython, Remi (in browser). Create GUI applications trivially with a full set of widgets. Multi-Window applications are also simple. 3.4 to 3.11 supported. 325+ Demo programs & Cookbook for rapid start. Extensive docs
Project mention: When to switch languages for a project | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2022-11-07 -
webview
Tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++/Golang. Uses WebKit (Gtk/Cocoa) and Edge (Windows)
Project mention: Should web developers learn Flutter instead of React Native/Electron for mobile/desktop apps? | reddit.com/r/FlutterDev | 2022-11-11From a more established company with more guaranteed long-term support than the web frameworks that solve the above problems (like Tauri and Webview)
-
libui
Simple and portable (but not inflexible) GUI library in C that uses the native GUI technologies of each platform it supports.
Project mention: Capy – Cross-platform library for making true native GUIs in Zig | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-08-01Fantastic! This is similar to the C library `libui` since it also acts as a wrapper of native libraries of each platform.
If only there was a way to interface to these using some declarative minimal and highly opinionated programming language and paradigm...
