Nice retained mode GUI libraries for C++ / Raylib?

[chrome cape]

Hey guys, i just got done making a tetris in raylib but making a UI is an absolute nightmare. I looked at some libraries with raygui and dear imgui, i like these but i'm wondering if you guys know/use any good retained mode guis for more dynamic UIs? Ideally something similar to Godot control nodes or CSS and a nice API.

They're all ugly yes

Should i use react like claude code does?

You know when you think of what claude made is actually closer to a mini game engine

[copper fern]

I've said it before and I'll say it again

web tech is the only thing remotely usable for making decent looking UIs

GPUI is cool but also kind of annoying to work with

But how do these cool game studios make such nice ui

[copper fern]

Which ones 😭

Battlefield uses React to power their UI I believe

Like for example stardew valley right

And thats one guy too

I mean it doesnt need to be a super fancy ui but it would be good if it had some state

Like a godot control node right

[copper fern]

probably made it themselves with whatever game engine they use?

Even libgdx have the scene2d stuff

Hstack vstack bananza

Just curious if theres a c++ lib with hstacks and vstacks
