Would be awesome to combine it with something like https://bitbucket.org/rmitton/tigr which is a small and tidy window creation/input processing lib, because I find glfw and SDL too bulky for casual C/C++ programming.
There is nothing really dependent on any of the provided demos. As long as you are able to provide an OS window, input and a way to either draw basic shapes or vertexes you are good to go.
