FastUI: Build Better UIs Faster

Shameless plug: I built a mobile version of this: https://www.applin.dev

Strada Released
I built a thing that makes it much simpler to make apps: https://www.applin.dev
You make a web server that returns JSON defining your UI. Then you make a native iOS app by copy/pasting the provided Main.swift file and adding the URL of your server. The app uses an iOS client library, fetches the JSON page definition, and builds/updates the page with native widgets. I'm planning to eventually build Android, web, and desktop clients.

Show HN: Applin – define mobile UI in server code
Hi HN, I'm a backend engineer who made an app and didn’t like the tools. Then I made the thing I needed: a mobile app toolkit for backend engineers. I'm calling it Applin™. :)
https://www.applin.dev/
How it works: You make an HTTP server that returns JSON objects that define page content. Then you make a mobile app that calls the server and renders the pages using native widgets. Applin is the server and client libraries that make this easy.
Server libraries: Currently there's Rails https://rubygems.org/gems/applin-rails and https://github.com/leonhard-llc/applin-rails-demo . Which languages shall I add next?
Client libraries: Currently there's iOS https://github.com/leonhard-llc/applin-ios . Which platform shall I add next?
They say, if you're not embarrassed by the quality, then you're launching too late. Applin is usable and not yet pretty and not yet comprehensive. I need customer feedback on priority and requirements.
To try it out right away, use https://apps.apple.com/us/app/applin-tester/id6464230000 and tap the rails-demo link.
The hardest part of this project was making the client update the page without losing keyboard focus and scrolling to the top. To do that, the code must pick the correct existing widgets for each new version of the widget tree. The current (working) version performs five passes over the widget tree: first picking focused widgets and their ancestors, then focus-able widgets, then other stateful widgets, then widgets with matching attributes (label, URL, etc.), and finally former siblings of the correct type. Then it creates any new widgets. Now that it has widgets for the new tree, the code updates the widget tree without removing any sub-widget that will be added again. This prevents losing keyboard focus and prevents resetting scroll positions. Here's the code:
https://github.com/leonhard-llc/applin-ios/blob/main/Sources/ApplinIos/page/widget_cache.swift
Please try out Applin, use it at your company (buy a license), and let me know what features to build first! Post a comment here, add a GitHub issue, or email me at [email protected] .

Are there any open source projects that need contributors?
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

Why Golang instead of Rust to develop the Krater desktop app
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.

Understand how to use C libraries in Go, with CGO
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.

Code for accessing portals in Go?
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?
