windigo VS fyne

I'm writing native Windows apps in Go with Windigo, as a replacement for C++.

I created a couple native Windows apps using Windigo, so it's clearly possible to do the same in Linux, probably with gotk3.

Windigo for low level and native Windows stuff has been extremely useful to me.

I also use Go with VSCode on Windows, and I develop a rather large project. If I change many things at the same time, it may hang, so I have to reload VSCode, but that's it. Nothing serious.

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

In Windigo there are some specific implementations for x32 and x64 platforms, for example.

If you want to look at something a bit bigger I can also suggest looking at Fyne (the toolkit that I’m working on and using to build the app): https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne

Tauri is definitely a hot SEO keyword!

I had not heard of https://wails.io before for Golang GUIs, only https://fyne.io which renders its own controls.

And this is how https://github.com/go-gst/go-gst, https://github.com/go-gl/glfw, and even https://fyne.io/ are using system libraries to propose a lot of functionalities.

It would be great if we could add support for Flatpak portals in https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne but I find the portal documentation complicated (especially if preferring to use D-Bus instead of accessing libportal using C). Does anyone have code examples for using portals from Go code?

If you fancy Go, there's Fyne. I don't work in the space so I cannot judge it.
