LibUISharp is a library containing bindings for libui. Currently, LibUISharp is only built as a .NET Standard 2.0 library, but can also support other frameworks as-per community interest.
Please Note: libui is mid-alpha software, meaning the underlying API in LibUISharp is a work-in-progress. Any LibUISharp releases up until v0.4.0 are CI builds, and are not guaranteed to work.
Currently, I don't have the free time to make LibUISharp complete on my own. Because of this, I am looking for help from the community. Whether an issue, or a new feature, nothing is to small.
