Re:Libui: a portable GUI library for C

I work for many years with FFMpeg that has no documentation and no code sample, and it's okay for me. I prefer that the developers keep their time optimizing the code rather than writing documentation that needs to be maintained and become a problem when not in sync. My state of mind is that if it's open source then just read the code.

FFmpeg's C API has pretty good documentation: https://www.ffmpeg.org/doxygen/4.0/
The C API documentation includes a ton of example code: https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/4.0/dir_687bdf86e8e626c2168c3a2d1...
In addition to having both a man page and a --help option, The FFmpeg CLI tool has very thorough documentation: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html
I don't understand how FFmpeg could in any way be considered to have no documentation and no code samples.
FFMpeg is not some random project - it's irreplaceable and very popular.
