iup-go VS syncthing

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

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.

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

For native controls check https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go.

That depends on your requirements. I'm currently using IUP for a desktop app (Linux and WIndows). Caveats:

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.

If I may, https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go: Cross-platform UI library with native controls.

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.

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.

My biggest gripe with Firefox on Android is that sometimes I enter a domain in the address bar, press enter and nothing happens.

This behaviour seems to be erratic and only affects a few websites, such as https://forum.syncthing.net.

Closing the tab or using a different one doesn't solve the problem. I need to force close the app to fix this.

Syncthing has had on their roadmap for 9.5 years to support iOS but hasn’t due to lack of interest by the developers to devote the time to make it.

macOS is supported though.

And Syncthing via 3rd parties does support iOS.

I haven't been able to access https://docs.syncthing.net or https://forum.syncthing.net/ but I was able to access some of the docs via github. I think I've set it up according to the docs. The logs contain lots of messages like:

Malware built into iOS makes it impossible to install Syncthing[0], which is a problem for most of the people who use iCloud tp sync their files.

They seem to have chosen Docker instead of Flatpak. You can get it with Docker by running:

syncthing is fully open sourced and distributed under MPL-2 licenses, while dropbox is not!

You could try to force QUIC which should handle latency a bit better. The priority of TCP/QUIC will be configurable with the upcoming v1.23.5 release:
