Brisk is a modern, cross-platform C++ GUI framework designed to build responsive, high-performance applications with flexibility and ease.
Initially developed for a graphics-intensive proprietary project with a complex and dynamic GUI.
Note
The Brisk library is currently under active development. Breaking changes may occur, and the documentation might not always be up to date. Contributions are always welcome!
