Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

SGSG (Svelte + Go + SQLite + gRPC) - open source application
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

Generate types for TS
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.
- Building Desktop Applications with Tauri, Nextjs, Firebase

Ask HN: What is the most pleasant, uncomplicated full stack to start with?
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.

Task runner like go-task/task, but in pure Go, no external DSLs
Is that what wails is doing here? (On mobile)

Game Server Development: How do you structure game state for easy, efficient, and configurable access?
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.

GameScripter.JS — write games in JS, compile to tiny executable
How tiny is the output? What is the API? (I couldn't find any documentation. I thought maybe it's in the Help menu in the app itself but all I found was this https://i.imgur.com/6puOMIe.png - On that note, what level of JS is supported? As far as I can tell it uses this https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk which is based on Fabrice Bellard's QuickJS ) Is there sound?

Ultralight VS sciter-js-sdk - a user suggested alternative

- Ask HN: Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron?

Zig Build System Internals
Having normal procedural language for build automation is of course useful. That's for those 10% of cases when "standard" build DSL (make,CMake,etc.) simply do not have facilities.
But the rest of 90% tasks should have compact (easily readable) definitions.
I personally found that Premake5 has quite good balance for these tasks.
Premake files are plain .lua files and due to Lua syntax they are easily readable. And if needed you can call from them procedures defined in again Lua.
So typical project (multiplatform) definition looks pretty readable, for example one project from Sciter SDK:

App Localization in Flutter

Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
Note Tauri is full fledged Client/Server with WebView (client) is running in separate process with RPC between UI process and Rust code (Server).
For the comparison:
Standalone Sciter (scapp.exe, https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/bin) takes ~8 MB of RAM (with minimal Cairo and GDI backends).
That's 20 times less than even Tauri.
WebView based solutions are not suitable for applets - small portable desktop applications.
-
Dioxus v0.1 - a new Rust GUI toolkit for Web, Desktop, Mobile, SSR, TUI that emphasizes developer experience [WebView-based rendering]
scapp.exe ( Standalone sciter engine ) takes 45 Mb showing its default "about" document.
-
Sciter, the 5 MB Electron alternative, has switched to JavaScript
Check this example of native object: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/blob/main/demos/int...
So you really don't need V8 JIT infrastructure to achieve max performance - just add native objects when needed.
What are some alternatives?
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
fyne - Cross platform GUI toolkit in Go inspired by Material Design
Lorca - Build cross-platform modern desktop apps in Go + HTML5
webview - Tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++. Uses WebKit (GTK/Cocoa) and Edge WebView2 (Windows).
example-go-tray-gui - An example desktop system tray application that can launch HTML5 windows. Go source with a build process for Windows, Mac and Linux.
go-astilectron - Build cross platform GUI apps with GO and HTML/JS/CSS (powered by Electron)
Guark - Build awesome Golang desktop apps and beautiful interfaces with Vue.js, React.js, Framework 7, and more...
sciter - Sciter: the Embeddable HTML/CSS/JS engine for modern UI development
gio - Mirror of the Gio main repository (https://git.sr.ht/~eliasnaur/gio)
systray - a cross platfrom Go library to place an icon and menu in the notification area
qt - Qt binding for Go (Golang) with support for Windows / macOS / Linux / FreeBSD / Android / iOS / Sailfish OS / Raspberry Pi / AsteroidOS / Ubuntu Touch / JavaScript / WebAssembly
