shadcn/ui VS nucular

Honestly the ergonomics of heavily customizable generic component libraries aren't great. Copy and pasting a simple component to make the specific customizations you want helps reduce JS ecosystem churn and dependency pain. Popularity of libraries like shadcn/ui [1] are good acknowledgements of that.

shadcn/ui

This model is very similar to the popular shadcn workflow. After files are creating in your local repo, you can modify them and check them into source control.

One of my biggest fears as a frontend dev is to build UIs that are inaccessible for people. It's easy to take so many things for granted.

The good news is you get a lot of accessibility out of the box using native html. For higher abstractions I love working with accessibility first libraries like Shadcn (which is built on top of Radix): https://ui.shadcn.com/

For development of the UI components, we tried something new. Vercel has this new AI tool called v0.dev that allows developers to take advantage of shadcn/ui and Tailwind using nothing but words, which can then be easily downloaded to your local project using nothing but a simple npx command.

Shadcn stands out among the many UI frameworks and libraries as a helpful resource for developers looking for an open-source, customizable way to create stunning and useful user interfaces. Shadcn is a tool to help you build your component library. These are components that you can copy and paste into your apps.

Shadcn UI for pretty UI out of the box

most X11 functionality can be accessed via xgb|xgbutil (jezek has a current fork). nucular makes use of it via shiny. OpenGL and such libraries can be assumed to exist on those systems, so directly calling those c libraries without cgo is a possibility. Ebiten is currently working on it: purego.

There are a few pure go gui libraries. I like https://github.com/aarzilli/nucular

github.com/aarzilli/nucular should be listed!

https://github.com/aarzilli/nucular - pure go for most platforms. no gtk, qt or other dyn linked libraries required. macos and mobile do require cgo iirc.

you could try github.com/aarzilli/nucular. For most platforms it is pure go and uses the shiny backend by default. theres also a gio backend. I would try the gio one for android.
