A tutorial on writing a toy GUI in C. I only skimmed it but the code snippets are generally short and the exposition is relatively easy to follow.

@amoroso That does indeed look like a fun tutorial! And given the sad state of GUI toolkits for C, it may actually be the Best Idea Ever (tm) to roll your own and include it with your application. At least that way you can be sure you're in control regardless of the platform you're on. 🤷
