Know some Good C programming communities?


I'm on the journey of developing a web-browser from scratch in C and I keep coming across niche questions on how certain libraries function (Xlib). I did some searches, but I couldn't find any forum or community that was recently active. Do you know of active communities that have Knowledge of C/Xlib?

Handmade Network[1] is probably where you want to be. They have a semi-active forum, and a very active Discord.

what conceivable use could you have for xlib?

you’re going to have ten thousand hard problems related to just CSS. do yourself a favor and at least use a high level cross platform gui library.

What is the background of this project? Is it a learning exercise or aiming for some functional benefit?

GitHub has some, but there are also gitlab, codeberg, srt, a.s.o.

C folks prefer to talk in code.

The C++ Slack team has much C knowledge.
