The modern way to build winapi apps. Do you want low-level access to your window? did you ever use WinAPI? Then you might wanna try out LitAPI because its essentially using WinAPI + Direct2D For a modern snappy feel instead of the old WinAPI GDI way. It also gives you access to low-level WinAPI but not all low-level access. LitAPI is shortened version of LiterallyAPI, the real name is LiterallyAPI but We can call it LitAPI instead. To use LitAPI you only need the 3 provided files:
litapi.h litapi.dll litapi.lib
Litapi was made and tested on windows 10 with clang, but im sure it might work With Visual Studio and other tools too.
