  • An important sidenote is “Skype for Business” has nothing to do with Skype MSFT acquired. It’s just brand reuse to cover up their shitty product. What that product is? Good old MSN Messenger’s on-prem sister i.e. ms lync. In fact Skype for business main .exe is still lync.exe . This was acceptable in early 2000s. Now those outdated ui elements, confused windows and scrambled chat history, ignoring the offline messages after the first one. It’s wonky as hell to use in this day and age. At least there are some decent clients for open source platforms like matrix, mattermost, zulip etc. MS teams, MS Skype, MS anything is crap as always.


  • I don’t know how feasible for you to use an immediate mode GUI library but imgui came to my mind as soon as i read the post. However it’s written in C++ instead of C.

    I never tried the C bindings but it seems to have a couple of options including cimgui to use imgui in a C project.

    Maybe it’s worth a shot if you want something that’s proven to be lightweight and battle tested (I mean the main imgui project for this).
