At the start of 2025:
* RGFW had 800 stars, now it's *nearly* 1600
* the discord had 29 members, now it's 100
It's been very exciting to watch the project grow and have more people actually using it. Something tells me this year will be the year of the hedgehog.
After nearly 7 months of development and testing, RGFW 1.8 is officially out on GitHub! If you're interested, check it out and let me know what you think.
I'm happy to announce RGFW's remastered logo. Made with help from @RegulatedNinja and tsoding.
You can access the vectorized version @ github.com/RSGL/logos
Check out the pre-release for RGFW 1.8.0 on GitHub!
The finalized release of 1.8.0 will be soon, I want to make sure I can get as much bugs as possible caught and fixed. There have been a lot of changes since 1.7.0 and I want RGFW 1.8.0 to be solid.

I moved a lot of the RGFW/RSGL ports/bindings over to the RSGL organization.
This is so that way community members who are using these projects can more easily maintain them.
If you would like to be invited to the org, let me know.

If my work on RGFW, RSGL, RFont, or my systems articles has helped you, consider sponsoring me on GitHub. I'm focused on building solid, reality-grounded foundations for better, lower-level software. Support keeps it moving.

Other forms of support such as testing, feedback, PRs, and sharing all go a long way. Every bit helps make systems programming more accessible, reliable, and sane.
Why do smart people use OOP or functional programming? It's because they are principled approaches to programming. However those principles are not grounded in reality.
Sadly this has led to a lot of great programmers explicitly accepting pragmatism. But people need principles.
