  11. For imgui ( https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/ ) and uklear ( https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear ), docs are basically unnecessary. You just have to look at the examples/demos and copy pasta. Immediate mode GUIs are great.

  23. "Dear ImGui" ( https://github.com/ocornut/imgui ) is an absolute delight to use. Can't recommend it highly enough. It's not suitable for every project, but when it does fit then I can't think of anything else I'd rather use.
