- The code looks nice, but when I read GUI, I want to see screenshots of GUIs.
Apparently a major dependency is "Fyne", which does show some screenshots on their page:
- Came here to say the same. Please add a few screenshots!
- Nice work. The hot-reload dev cli looks very cool in a compiled-binary world.
- I'll be watching this project.
Looking forward to a Golang declarative framework.
My advice to the author: invest in rich multi-window support early on. It's easy not to, but you always need it in the end, and it's painful to retrofit.
I feel like there's a great cross-platform UI story to be told with Go, since cross compiling is so easy.
- I once built a small utility using the "Fyne" framework; it was reasonably functional and made it very convenient to compile cross-platform executables (including for Android).
I took a look at your recommendation, "gova"; it seems to be just getting started—keep up the good work!
- Very excited every time I see cross-platform GUI in go.
I think the right mental model is that Gova is to Fyne like DaisyUI is to TailwindCSS??
- That's a beautifully designed library, bravo! Will have to give it a go
- This wraps Fyne? As a long time user of Fyne, what does this provide beyond Fyne itself?
- A "mithril" like syntax. Like you could do (wrapped over multiple lines of course)
m.div([m.h1("title"), m.p(["click", m.a({href:"..."}, "me")])])
you can do (taken from the page)
g.VStack(g.Text(...), g.HStack(...).Spacing(g.SpaceMD))
some people will like this style, others not.
- The repo doesn't say it, but the Author noted on the Gophers Slack #showandtell that the style was inspired by SwiftUI. That VStack example shows it quite well.
- I think styling and ready-made components out of the box?
