Which GUI platform and why?
11 projects | /r/golang | 22 Jul 2021

I know that it's very complex. I think we don't even have a video codec written in Golang. I don't know what MPV is, but I'll take a look. My point is that some features that seem "basic" (comparing to JS/HTML) don't exist in Gio. The video is one of them, it's easy to create a `` on browsers. But, I most want the `blur` and `drop-shadow` features, but I don't know how to implement them. I'm still using Gio, and I'm also trying to add some features (the latest one that I'm working on is to implement [File Dialog](https://github.com/gioui/gio-x/pull/3), for Windows/WASM/Android). I hope that someday Gio implements most features that browsers (JS) have. :P

Go gtk3 bindings are very nice https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3
Go taking too much time building with imports
3 projects | /r/golang | 26 Feb 2023

I wanted to try the GTK bindings for Go, so I did all the steps for importing an external module: go mod init "test/gtk" go mod tidy go get "https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3"
I want to create a simple menu based game. What framework would you recommend?
2 projects | /r/golang | 14 Oct 2022

So it should be simple as buttons+images+some sounds. The purpose to create this game is fun, but mostly to learn golang better. There are a lot of options now. I suppose it should be https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3 But, well, maybe you know better framework to use?

There are definitely libraries, such as bindings to GTK: https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3 or Win32: https://github.com/rodrigocfd/windigo
The point remains that it is possible to do these things without async/await, but Go isn’t frequently used to develop native UIs, most likely because the kind of visual UI builder tools used in Visual Studio or Android Studio have never had an equivalent funded for use with Go, due to lack of commercial support for that use case. Beyond that, web gui frameworks are immensely popular these days, further removing motivation to really “make gui happen” in Go, but there are niche use cases out there, as evidenced by the existence of libraries.
Go GTK on Windows
4 projects | /r/golang | 9 Dec 2021

I'm trying to use gotk3 (https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3). The first issue I got was with pkg-config not being in the PATH environment variable. Cool, I fixed that. Now, I get errors about gio, glib, and gobject not being found in the pkg-config search path.
