Spot

For complex scenarios (i.e. the user interacting with the UI while there are some long-running processes in the backround doing this, too), managing the state quickly gets…

While I agree, that the virtual widget tree has a certain overhead, the typical desktop app you would create with Spot probably does not have 1000s of components—more like ten to…

If only I had known about this (or judging by commit history, if it existed) ~3 weeks ago. I've been saying for ages that either React ported to Go or a React-like framework for…

I’ll have to give this a look! I’ve been looking for a simple way to use Go to write an internal development tool which is basically just a form with some buttons and text…

"Cross-platform: Leveraging FLTK[1] & Cocoa[2], Spot works on Mac, Linux, and the BSDs with plans for native Windows support in the future." I'd seriously recommend that you…

I applaud your effort, but cross plattform with no Windows support?

I'm already convinced of the benefit of declarative GUIs over imperative ones. To be clearer, what I mean by declarative GUIs is ones where I can specify that UI elements should…

I don't know how to take this in. On one side, it's great to have a cross-platform GUI toolkit that's easy to use; on the other side, it feels like a React-like UI is contrary to…

I applaud your effort, but cross plattform with no Windows support?

Fltk supports windows. Will you be using another solution and that’s why u don’t support windows yet?

Very cool idea! If someone implements GTK I would absolutely use it, its just fltk is no fun in Linux world

Looks great! Thanks for sharing. Would you consider listing the supported platforms in the readme? I think that would be a pretty interesting piece of information: ``` - Windows…

I'm curious to hear your take on this: what's the advantage of following the virtual control tree approach compared to instead updating directly the controls that are displayed…

I have been looking for something like this in Go for a while. I think there's a real opportunity for Go to provide a great developer experience for cross platform UI due to how…

Cool! What does building for cross platform look like? Would love if there was a command that produced my MacOs .app and Windows exe without me having to dive into package…

This is exactly how the data binding APIs in Fyne (another Go GUI toolkit) work. And it's also an optional feature, so if you want to handle things by registering callbacks and…

Wails <https://wails.io>. I wanted to use Go but wasn't as familiar with native UI as with HTML/CSS/JS, I tried out most of the other popular Go UI frameworks too though they…

Was looking for something like this some years back. Though I wanted Windows support too. Ended up switching to C++ to use wxWidgets, giving me small self contained binaries.

Main problem is that when you release on desktop, a web version is usually desirable (except for very niche apps that interact a lot with the OS). Alternatively, something that…
