The Dear ImGui readme is a good starting point: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui ...now of course Dear ImGui is a specific implementation of an immediate mode UI framework, but it's also the most popular implementation. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
Bonus: If you want to make desktop app with UI, then this is another great C++ library and it's also simple to learn as well. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui. Source: 6 months ago
Create your own GUIs and overlays using the popular ImGUI. Source: 7 months ago
There are also misc bugfixes, editor changes this time. But I'm a bit tired of win32 and plan to port Dear Imgui afterward. Or leave a comment if you have a good idea about the GUI! I'd like to be focus on the runtime rendering more and keep GUI programming as simple as possible. Source: 8 months ago
> [...] you can build UIs that are snappy and keyboard driven. That's not an advantage that is exclusive to TUIs; after all, you're running your TUI inside a graphical application that emulates a terminal. (Unless you're rocking an actual VT102, in which case I bow down to you.) In fact there's an entire class of applications that are extremely snappy and keyboard driven, by their very nature: games.

What I'd really like to see with CEF et al, is JS being dropped, in favor of directly controlling the DOM from the host language. Then we could, for example, write a Rust (or Kotlin, Zig, Haskell, etc) desktop application that simply directly manipulated the DOM, and had it rendered by a HTML+CSS layout engine. Folks could then write a React-like framework for that language (to help render & re-render the DOM in... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
> I hope Electron/CEF die soon, and people get back to building applications that don't consume hundreds of megabytes of RAM to render a hello world. Web technologies are fine, but what we really need is some kind of lightweight browser which allows you to use HTML/CSS/JS, but with far lower memory usage. I found https://ultralig.ht/ which seems to be exactly what I am looking... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
I'm curious if the project will be open-source or do you have plans to go the Awesomium/Ultralight route with both open/closed sources and volume licenses? Or do you plan to offer commercial support services like other open source software? Source: 11 months ago
I’m not tied to any language, but it needs to be able to wrap a c++ library. I started with .NET 7 MAUI - no linux support & very mobile focused. Tried out Electron. Wins on ease and usability, but has massive overhead. (Basic “Hello world” executable compiled to over 200mb) I then discovered Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht/). Big win on size, but was last updated 3 years ago. Source: 12 months ago
