The library uses C++17 and has a minimalistic API. The main design principle is to make it as simple as possible, but not simpler. The library does not try to build a complete abstraction over the operating system and deals only with basic UI stuff. It has nothing about network, strings, file handling, multithreading, and other useful but irrelevant UI things, which are also available in the modern C++ standard.
Your application written once will run and look the same on Windows, on Linux and on macOS
Built-in support for locales and color themes based on json schemes makes it easy to create impressive multilingual applications with a variety of color themes.
The average size of binary code added to your application is 2 megabytes, which is 20-30 times smaller than your competitors
You can freely embed WUI in your software without having to publish the source code or buy a license
Such applications as VideoGrace video messenger and possibly your new application are created on WUI 😉
