fyne VS Wails

If you want to look at something a bit bigger I can also suggest looking at Fyne (the toolkit that I’m working on and using to build the app): https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne

Tauri is definitely a hot SEO keyword!

I had not heard of https://wails.io before for Golang GUIs, only https://fyne.io which renders its own controls.

And this is how https://github.com/go-gst/go-gst, https://github.com/go-gl/glfw, and even https://fyne.io/ are using system libraries to propose a lot of functionalities.

It would be great if we could add support for Flatpak portals in https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne but I find the portal documentation complicated (especially if preferring to use D-Bus instead of accessing libportal using C). Does anyone have code examples for using portals from Go code?

If you fancy Go, there's Fyne. I don't work in the space so I cannot judge it.

This is basically the same tech stack of an app I’ve been planning to build, but deployed as a desktop application using Wails: https://github.com/wailsapp/wails

Wails 2.6k

The wails project does this when. You can check it out here https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/blob/master/v2/internal/typescriptify/typescriptify.go for inspection.

I have built Web front-ends (React or Svelte) with Go-backend. Embed in a web-view to make it a native desktop app, or get funky and give it native chrome/menus etc. [Wails](https://github.com/wailsapp/wails) is a good candidate to start if you want to cut on boiler plate.

Is that what wails is doing here? (On mobile)

In a "local" environment, where an executable can be provided to someone with the entire game contents. In this case, the game won't use WebSockets, and will instead use a Go/JS bridge (something like Wails) to connect.
