nothings/stb on Hacker News

Out of my personal go-to c++ libs, the only ones I missed are the stb libraries ( https://github.com/nothings/stb/ , in particular the image ones are very popular) and maybe ImGui, but that might be too niche. Also I would love to have a…

How does this compare to something like https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/stb_image.h ? Is it just that it has more features and can handle weird edge cases?
