Lorca VS Wails

Lorca 5.9k

My pet project is a RAW photo editor that ships as a server, but also tries to provide a more "app" like experience on localhost (borrowing some principles from lorca).

Wails 2 seems great. I need to have a another look at it for my pet project. I've used something closer to Lorca so far.

See if https://github.com/zserge/lorca will work for you.

Cross-platform, no cgo, there's github.com/zserge/lorca.

Have a look at lorca or, if you'd rather mess around something more complex than a basic sample, my app (which doesn't use lorca but follows a similar approach).

This is basically the same tech stack of an app I’ve been planning to build, but deployed as a desktop application using Wails: https://github.com/wailsapp/wails

Wails 2.6k

The wails project does this when. You can check it out here https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/blob/master/v2/internal/typescriptify/typescriptify.go for inspection.

I have built Web front-ends (React or Svelte) with Go-backend. Embed in a web-view to make it a native desktop app, or get funky and give it native chrome/menus etc. [Wails](https://github.com/wailsapp/wails) is a good candidate to start if you want to cut on boiler plate.

Is that what wails is doing here? (On mobile)

In a "local" environment, where an executable can be provided to someone with the entire game contents. In this case, the game won't use WebSockets, and will instead use a Go/JS bridge (something like Wails) to connect.
