project creator-clarified
egui is most commonly pronounced "ee gooey" (/ˈiːɡuːi/). This pronunciation is documented by the project itself (see egui official README (emilk/egui)).
Rust immediate-mode GUI library by Emil Ernerfeldt (@emilk). README states verbatim: "pronounced as 'e-gooey'. Please don't write it as 'EGUI'." Lowercase, like "e" + the word "gooey". STRESS: EE-gooey (first syllable). Often mispronounced "ee-gwee" or spelled out E-G-U-I.

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.
