Yeah DearImGUI is pretty awesome. Friend and I used it in a code injection project/prototype.

A GUI library that is simple to use and well documented?
Sounds pretty good, even though one of their FAQ answers does seem a bit odd to me:
"[...] dear imgui does not use any of std C++ types. We use raw types (e.g. char* instead of std::string) because they adapt to more use cases." -
@LotsOfCaffeine I just .c_str() everything I pass it. It's not at all documented in the conventional way of having a wiki or usage guide.
They just threw everything they had in the main demo.cpp. I ran it, decided what I needed, and copied the relevant code snippets. It's a learn-by-example-thingy :) -
@NickyBones yeah I do think learn-by-example is one of the best ways to get to know APIs or libraries

thremedy48You know, exiting Skype is even harder than exiting Vim
A shout out to Dear ImGui developers - super amazing job! Took me 1-2 hours to figure how things work from the examples.
A few C++ files is all I needed to integrate the GUI into my project, and it was rather painless.
My UI/UX skills are poor, so the awful interface is on me :)
