walk VS giu

Fyne is just really ugly for me.. I'm trying to learn more about GIO lately (gioui.org) which seems to have a great potential. However you request is very simple: native Windows Gui. And there are few libraries for that: - https://github.com/gonutz/wui - https://github.com/lxn/walk - https://github.com/tadvi/winc - https://github.com/rodrigocfd/windigo

My experience with gui in golang is pretty bad. I took a project which used https://github.com/lxn/walk , and unfortunately the library doesn't have a good documentation. So I had to figure out a whole lot of things by looking into example snippets or via hit and trial. Moreover, it's platform specific. So yeah wasn't a good deal. By the way, if you are thinking of targetting cross-platform then some HTML based GUI library would be much better choice.

Look at https://github.com/lxn/walk. While it offers a cgo optimization for the event loop, I don’t believe it’s required.

I prefer giu + zenity for tooling GUIs with either very few or very many elements (i.e. 100's). I use Flutter for when I want an attractive GUI of medium complexity.

FYI, they're using Dear ImGui. Either https://github.com/AllenDang/giu or https://github.com/inkyblackness/imgui-go

I did poke around for a bit, but I really needed the tool, and I knew it would be days of work if I learned a new tool and hours if I stuck with what I knew.

My coworker Andrew did start a similar tool, which is here: https://github.com/andrewpmartinez/grid and uses https://github.com/AllenDang/giu for the UI.

Next time I need a feature I probably take a look at that and see what the model looks like and and how straightforward it is to work with.

To maintain my another GUI lib giu (https://github.com/AllenDang/giu), I used to update imgui manually time to time, and it always a pain in my ass.

I then used GIU (https://github.com/AllenDang/giu) which is a Go wrapper around IMGUI - I found major performance issues since my requirements are pretty extreme, I was plotting charts containing 1000's of points and the overhead of calling the underlying C libraries from Go was too much.
