Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ideas for GUI libraries?
For years I had Qt experience in Python and C++. But I found it too heavy to introduce in a Go project. After trying a couple different options (I'm not a web dev) I actually really liked IUP. https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go

IUP – Cross platform C GUI library
You can check the screenshot from Windows 10 here https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go/blob/main/examples/sampl.... If you are not using the manifest it will not follow the system appearance and will always look like Windows XP Classic.

bindings to GTK or QT
I've tried a few different Go gui solutions so far. Coming from a C++/Python Qt background, I wanted to use Qt bindings but found them to be a bit too heavy as a dependency in Go. And I'm not a skilled web dev so some of the other options didn't suit me well enough. But I did actually enjoy using this in a recent project: https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go

Desktop UI

Are there any cross-platform GUI frameworks programmable with Go which you’d recommend?
That depends on your requirements. I'm currently using IUP for a desktop app (Linux and WIndows). Caveats:
-
Go GUI with access to filesystem... Best approach?
For native UI, you can check https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go. There are 50+ examples to help you, i.e. show images, buttons, file dialogs, etc.

What is the coolest Go open source projects you have seen?
If I may, https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go: Cross-platform UI library with native controls.
-
What makes Go unsuitable for UI development?
You can check https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go. The Cocoa backend is still not finished but it works for basic UI. There is GLCanvas for Linux and Windows.
-
The Linux GUI toolkit situation, or why Electron (or similar) is sadly the future.
I recently created a Go binding here https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go and was amazed how simple API is, thanks to their attribute system. Although they have some controls that are custom, everything else is native. Compared to Qt or wxWidgets, IUP is just a UI toolkit, Qt/wxWidgets is much more than just a UI toolkit.

Yazi: Fast terminal file manager based on async I/O
I've tried using LF in the past, but it didn't stick. Will definitely give this a go, as I'm trying to move to an pure terminal workflow as closely as possible.

What are the best open source tools to easily navigate directories from the command line?
Hi. fff, lf, clifm Won't say they're best or not, rather interesting and maybe worth looking at. Looked up for the z in termux's repos and it's called "zoxide" there.
- Switching from unix - Is there a plugin or something similar to Ranger or NNN?
- NvimTree vs NeoTree
-
LF filemanager is awesome - so is zsh, which I want to migrate to. But in bash and fish, you can make a function so when quitting LF, you end up in the dir you were in in LF. can't find something similar for zsh
in the Github page for lf under etc, you can find instruction for making such a function for bash and fish.

What is the process of requesting for a package to be added to the official repos?
I recently discovered an amazing terminal file manager (lf). The package is available for most mainstream distros but not for openSUSE.
-
What are your programs missing from the official Fedora repos?
For me, the main program missing is "lf" the ranger inspired terminal file manager. 5000 stars on Github, packaged in the official repos for basically anything under the sun except Fedora and a key part in my day-to-day workflow. https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
