Wails VS neutralinojs

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.

We tried using pywebview for a cross-platform desktop app when it was version 3.x and some of the features were limited, especially when it came to systray interactions. Will have to try it out again. In the end, for that specific project, we ended up settling on NeutralinoJS. Wails was another big contender but due to limited GoLang resources in-house, we decided not to use it. Reference: https://neutralino.js.org/

Look into Neutralinojs and Tauri.

I've been drawn to NeutralinoJS as it looks like it will do what I want, but I'm willing to hear some other recommendations and maybe tutorials on how to do the objectively simple things I've outlined above.
