    You will end up with a single binary that works across all operating systems. Your Go program uses a web server internally to communicate with your web app and to serve static files. To make it really easy for your users use something like https://github.com/pkg/browser to start the default browser with the correct URL when the program starts. It even works offline because all required files come with the go executable.
