go-c2dmc VS gio

I also built go-c2dmc, a package utilizing the go-colorful library to compute the nearest-matching DMC thread (thread for sewing, cross stitching, etc.) color to RGB and other color-space values (such as LAB and HSV). I haven’t touched it in quite some time, but I’m also planning on adding the ability to select from pre-defined color pallets to match to, as well as creating custom color pallets to match to.

I don’t have a contributor guide written for either of them, but feel free to help with the few issues in either this or this package I’ve written and released. They’re super simple things, but I’ve been rather busy at work and in life. So I haven’t had the time to address them. If you want to contribute, feel free to send me a DM with any questions!! Otherwise, just fork the repo(s) and just open a PR once you’re ready for the changes to be merged. I’ll review it asap!!

As far as projects to study go, I’ll start off with a shameless plug of two Go packages I’ve written, myself. This one is for converting between RGB (and other color space formats) to the nearest matching DMC thread color. This one is admittedly an extremely unidiomatic package (it’s completely opposite of how you should do things in Go) for supporting dynamic queries in Go without headaches or pre-defining “model” structs to hold each row of your query results. It’s something that can be useful, but it’s also built to showcase making the language work for a use case it wasn’t originally meant to support. If you wanna take a look at them, feel free. Also, I suggest looking at the testify repo. It’s an EXTREMELY popular testing library, and it’s also structured well.

I’m the creator of https://github.com/syke99/go-c2dmc a Go package for converting RGBA, LAB, and Hexcode color values to the nearest matching DMC thread color. It’s a bit niche of a package, and it’s been a few months since I’ve worked on it, but I’m always open to contributors and maintainers joining the project. If anyone would like to contribute and/or be a maintainer, DM me and we can discuss more

Gio UI is an immediate-mode UI, and immediate-mode UIs map very nicely to Rust. egui is quite easy to use. https://www.egui.rs/

I've been writing a WASM app using gio & I found myself wanting for a simplified web library. In addition I drew some inspiration from leptos server functions. A friend of mine mentioned it has some similarities with next.js

I am building the same but with golang and https://gioui.org/

This release of Gonum/plot is in sync with Gonum-v0.13.0 and updates the vg/vggio backend to the latest Gio API.

Historically, C++. Today, (unfortunately) a lot of (non-game) desktop apps are written in HTML/CSS/JS using Electron. There are projects like Fyne and GIO that aim to make Go a viable language for building large-scale performant desktop apps. My open-source hobby project Supersonic is a music player app built using Fyne.

It’s actually extremely easy, if you use one of the actively developed options like https://fyne.io or https://gioui.org for example. Flutter’s Dart may help with real-time hacking of UI but Go produces better code in the long run!
